Notes
- Make-ahead: Prepare the buffalo chicken dip a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Assemble the sliders just before baking.

- Substitutions: Use Greek yogurt instead of ranch dressing for a lighter option, or swap out the chicken for shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience.
