Set out a stick of butter to soften.
Grill chicken on an outdoor grill or a grill pan inside. For outdoor grill, grease your grill plates and preheat the grill to medium-high.

Shred the chicken with two forks. Place it in a bowl, add the barbecue sauce, and mix until the chicken is well-coated.
Split the sliders buns in half, and butter each half. Place butter side down on the grill or in a frying pan and cook until browned.
Spread ranch dressing on the inside of the top halves of the buns. Pile shredded BBQ chicken on the bottom half. Top with a slice of cheese, then lettuce. Place the top half of the bun on top.
