- Canola Oil as needed
Homemade Ranch:
- 2.5 tbsp Sour Cream

Sliders:
- 1 pack King's Hawaiian Rolls
- 8-10 Cooked Bacon Slices
- 8-12 Sliced Mozzarella Cheese
- ½ cup Melted Butter
- Ranch Seasoning
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients for your ranch to a bowl and mix. Set to the side until ready to use.
- Slather your chicken thighs with oil and generously season with salt, pepper and garlic powder or your favorite chicken rub. Set in the fridge until ready to cook.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 375F) for two zone indirect cooking.
- Add a cold cast iron skillet to the heat and add your bacon slices to cook until nice and crispy. Once done, pull off to cool then chop up.
- Next, add your chicken to the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side or until they are 170F.
- After you flip the chicken, baste with the buffalo sauce and continue cooking. Baste as needed.
- Once the chicken is done, pull off to let it rest for 5 minutes. Once rested, slice into thin strips.
- Pull out your King's Hawaiian Slider Rolls. While keeping the slider rolls together, slice your slider rolls in half so there is a top side and bottom side.
- Add the bottom side into a foil bin or cooking safe skillet. Add a layer of cheese, sliced chicken, chopped bacon, drizzle of ranch and finish with a layer of more sliced cheese plus the top part of the buns.
- Brush some melted butter over the top roll and season with ranch seasoning.
- Get your grill to a two zone medium high heat (around 350-375F) for indirect cooking.
- Add your sliders in the foil bin on to the smoker to cook until they are golden brown & crispy (about 10-12 minutes). Once done, pull the sliders off and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Slice up your sliders and serve with the homemade ranch for dipping. Enjoy!
