Instructions
Preparation
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Combine with Buffalo Sauce
- Pour the Buffalo sauce over the shredded chicken and mix until well combined.
- Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Assemble the Sliders
- Slice the slider buns in half. Optionally, toast them on a skillet or grill.

Notes
For a healthier dressing, use Greek yogurt. Store leftover buffalo chicken in an airtight container for up to 3 days; keep buns separate to prevent sogginess.
