  2. In a separate small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon butter (melted) with the chopped celery and red onion. Microwave for about 30-60 seconds, or until the vegetables are slightly softened. Stir in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth.

Notes

Best to store the buffalo chicken mixture and slider buns separately. Reheat the chicken mixture separately and assemble fresh sliders for best texture.
