# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They disappear faster than you can refill the tray, which means less cleanup and more compliments.
  • The creamy, spicy dip baked right into the buns means no messy scooping or double-dipping.
  • You can prep the whole thing ahead and just pop it in the oven when guests arrive.
  • They taste like Buffalo wings and pizza had a baby, and that baby is delicious.
02 -
  • If your cream cheese isn't fully softened, you'll end up with lumps that won't mix in no matter how hard you stir.
  • Don't skip the foil in the first bake, the tops will brown too fast and the cheese won't melt all the way through.
  • Let the sliders rest for a few minutes after baking so the filling sets slightly and doesn't ooze out everywhere when you cut them.
03 -
  • Use a serrated knife to slice the buns horizontally so you don't squish them, and keep them connected for easier handling.
  • If you want extra crispy tops, brush them with butter again halfway through the uncovered baking time.
  • Sprinkle a little crumbled blue cheese on top before the final bake if you want to lean into classic Buffalo wing flavor even more.
