It has become one of our favorite quick weeknight meals! You can make it with fresh or frozen chicken, and I use Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners in my crockpot for easy cleanup.

I have tried many buffalo wing sauces, and my favorite for making crockpot buffalo chicken is Moores Wing Sauce it’s tangy with just the right amount of heat and not overly salty and it’s also gluten-free. Once the shredded buffalo chicken is ready I put it on a hoagie or slider roll and like to top it with a blue cheese schmear and red onions. If you don’t like blue cheese you can also use your favorite ranch dressing. You may want to spoon some extra juice on so when you eat it you will feel that goodness dripping down your chin and trust me you just won’t care! I swear you won’t be able to eat just one!
- 4-6 fresh or frozen chicken breasts
- 1 bottle 16 oz Moores Buffalo Wing Sauce

- Blue Cheese Crumbles
- Place chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Pour the Wing Sauce over the chicken.
- Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix over the top.
