Easy Crockpot Buffalo Chicken
It’s so simple to make an easy shredded buffalo chicken for sandwiches or sliders. Great for a quick weeknight meal or perfect for game day food 🙂
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Place the chicken breasts (original recipe said they were frozen, so lower cooking time if yours are fresh or thawed out) into a slow cooker. See Notes (I season my chicken first)
  2. Pour in about 3/4 of the bottle of wing sauce and the ranch dressing mix. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.
  3. Once the chicken has cooked, shred the meat with two forks. Add the butter and melt and incorporate.
  4. Pile the meat onto the hoagie rolls, and splash with the remaining buffalo wing sauce to serve.
Recipe Notes

Stacy’s Notes: I’ve been making this for several years, because it is so simple and easy!  The brand of buffalo sauce I buy is Moore’s brand.

The original recipe just calls for cooking the chicken in the buffalo sauce and ranch seasoning mix (I use my own and my recipe is also on this website).  I like to add seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper to the raw meat before putting it in the crockpot. Season however you like.  Also, the Moore’s brand of sauce is not overly spicy, so you may want to add more seasoning for heat, if you like things spicy 🙂

I just use two breasts for us, and put them in frozen on high for 2 or 3 hours maybe, or even less if they are thawed. Just cook until they are done and ready to be shredded.

We serve this shredded meat on hamburger buns, hoagie rolls or sliders.  We like to spread the bread with blue cheese dressing and then melt cheese, usually provolone, on top.
