How to serve Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders

Best Way to Serve

These sliders are best served warm right out of the oven. Pair them with a fresh green salad, crunchy coleslaw, or crispy sweet potato fries for a well-rounded meal. You can also serve them with a side of carrot sticks and ranch dip for a healthy, appetizing contrast.

How to store

Best Way to Store Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders

To keep any leftover sliders fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the unbaked sliders. Just be sure to wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator and bake until heated through!

Creative twists

Feel free to customize your Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders! Swap in turkey or even a plant-based protein for a lighter option. You might also experiment with different cheeses—pepper jack adds an extra kick. For a gourmet touch, drizzle some sriracha or hot sauce over the filling before baking.
