Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch, shredded cheese, and chopped scallions. Stir until well combined and set the mixture aside.
    2 cups shredded cooked chicken, 1 cup buffalo sauce, ½ cup ranch, ½ cup shredded Colby jack, ⅓ cup scallions
  • In a separate bowl, melt the butter and stir in the dried parsley and minced garlic. Set aside for brushing over the rolls.
    ½ cup butter, 2 tablespoons dried parsley, 1 teaspoon garlic
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the Hawaiian rolls on it. Using a spoon, carefully hollow out the center of each roll to create a small pocket.

  • Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each hollowed roll, filling them generously. Brush the tops of the rolls with the garlic butter and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly across the tops. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops are golden.

  • Once out of the oven, brush the tops with any remaining garlic butter and garnish with extra chopped scallions. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to overstuff the rolls, or the filling might spill out during baking.
  • Cheese Options: Feel free to swap Colby jack for cheddar or pepper jack if you want more heat.
  • Garlic Butter Goodness: Brushing the rolls with garlic butter before baking adds flavor and helps create a golden crust.
  • Make Ahead: The buffalo chicken filling can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the rolls.
  • Spice Level: Adjust the buffalo sauce to make the rolls as spicy or mild as you like.
  • Roll Substitutes: If you don’t have Hawaiian rolls, slider buns or dinner rolls will work just as well.
  • Extra Crunch: For a crispier top, broil the rolls for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
