For weeknight meals, I’m always searching for something fun and creative to make but without a lot of prep and cook time. Many of you know I spend a lot of time commuting from work so weekday lengthy recipes don’t work for me because we don’t like to eat at 10 o’ clock at night!
This recipe is great for others in the same boat. Many of my grilling clinic attendees have told me that “sliders” are perfect for kids because they are the perfect size and they don’t take a long time to cook on the grill. This tasty dish is appealing to adults and kids alike!
Quick and Easy: Grilled Buffalo Chicken Sliders
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: serves 2 adults 1x
Ingredients
- 1 packet chicken cutlets (ie: tenders)
- wing sauce or hot sauce (use mild wing sauce if you don't like heat)- 1 1/2 cups or more (enough to coat chicken in bowl and reserve some for basting on grill afterwards)
- rolls (buns)
- sandwich dill pickles
- blue cheese dip (see recipe below)
Give the tenders a quick drizzle or olive oil, and a dash of salt and pepper. Add enough sauce to coat all the tenders in a medium-large size bowl. Let them marinate at least 15 minutes in the fridge.
Turn grill on to heat up while chicken is marinating; meanwhile- make Scott's Blue Cheese Dip!
Scott's Blue Cheese Dip

I used GameDay Eats Wing Sauce for this recipe! Tasty!
While grilling, I toss coconuts in the pool for Haley and Connor to fetch.
