Assembly timing matters because the ranch dressing will make the buns soggy if you add it too early
These disappear shockingly fast, so consider doubling the recipe if youre feeding more than four people

Broil the assembled sliders for 1-2 minutes after baking if you want extra crispy cheese edges
Lightly toast the bun bottoms in the oven before adding the chicken to prevent sogginess
