Instructions

Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
Slice Rolls: Slice the entire package of rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom slab into the baking dish.
Make Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, hot sauce, 1/4 cup melted butter, and ranch dressing. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
Assemble: Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns. Top with the provolone slices and shredded cheddar cheese. Place the top slab of buns over the cheese.
Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tbsp melted butter with garlic powder and parsley. Brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls.
Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
Serve: Slice between the rolls and serve hot.

Notes

Soggy Bottom Prevention: If you are worried about soggy rolls, place a slice of cheese on the bread *before* adding the chicken mixture.

Blue Cheese: Swap the ranch for blue cheese dressing if you prefer a funkier flavor.

Leftovers: These reheat best in the oven or air fryer to crisp the bread back up. Microwave will make them soft.
