# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everyone fights over the last one because theyre ridiculously addictive and easy to grab.
  • You get all the flavor of Buffalo chicken dip without needing chips or a spoon.
  • They bake together in one pan, so theres almost no cleanup afterward.
  • The garlic butter brushed on top makes the buns taste like cheesy garlic bread.
02 -
  • If you skip softening the cream cheese, youll end up with clumps that never fully blend into the dip.
  • Brushing the garlic butter on the tops before baking instead of after makes all the difference in flavor and color.
  • Covering with foil for the first part of baking prevents the tops from burning before the cheese inside melts.
03 -
  • Use kitchen shears to slice the connected slider buns in half horizontally, it keeps them from tearing and makes assembly so much faster.
  • Press down gently on the assembled sliders before baking so the filling spreads evenly and the buns soak up some of that garlicky butter.
  • Let them rest for five minutes after baking so the cheese sets slightly and they hold together when you slice them.
