    HOT TO MAKE SLOW COOKER BUFFALO CHICKEN

     

    STEP 1.   Put that chicken into the crock pot! I even put it in frozen most of the time.  You can salt & pepper to taste if you like or in my case can you guess? YES a little garlic salt. 

    STEP 2 .  Sprinkle the dry ranch dressing on top of the chicken  Then pour the whole bottle of buffalo sauce on.

    Step 3.   Cover with lid and set on high for 2 to 4 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours. 

    Tip: If you want to serve the breast whole rather than shredding it, the cook time will be less. All crock pots are different , so if the chicken is thawed start with 2 hours on high or 6 hours on low and then test to make sure chicken is done.

    Step 4.   Shred with two forks or leave whole and serve as desired.

    We love this on a bun with slaw and blue cheese crumbles and a drizzle of ranch or blue dressing! Oh so yummy!

    It's also good to use for Buffalo Chicken Dip or Buffalo Chicken Nachos!

    Throw it in a tortilla and have a Buffalo Chicken Taco!

    When shredding this chicken goes a long way! Think of the numerous you can use this and spice up that weeknight menu!
