# Expert advice:

01 -
  • Every bite delivers creamy, spicy, cheesy comfort without the mess of traditional Buffalo wings.
  • You can assemble the whole tray in one dish and bake it all at once, no flipping or frying required.
  • They vanish at parties, which means you get to be the hero who brought the good stuff.
02 -
  • Softening the cream cheese completely is non-negotiable, cold cream cheese will leave you with lumps no amount of stirring can fix.
  • Brushing the garlic butter on every inch of the tops makes the difference between okay sliders and ones people remember.
  • Covering with foil for the first part of baking keeps the buns from drying out while the cheese melts inside.
03 -
  • Use kitchen shears to slice the buns instead of a knife, it's faster and keeps the layers from smooshing.
  • If your Buffalo sauce is very thin, reduce it in a small pan for a few minutes so the dip doesn't get runny.
  • Brushing the garlic butter on the bottom buns before adding the filling gives you a hidden layer of flavor most people won't expect.
