- Slice each piece of fried chicken to fit the Hawaiian rolls. Place chicken on the bottom half of each roll, drizzle with buffalo sauce, and sprinkle with blue cheese.
- Place assembled sliders on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
- Top with the other half of the roll and serve immediately with ranch dressing on the side.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
