Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken
Description
This recipe uses chicken breasts cooked in a crock pot with a sauce made from hot sauce, ranch seasoning mix, and butter. The ingredients combine to create a mix of spicy, tangy, and creamy flavors. The chicken slowly cooks on low heat until tender, absorbing the sauce's bold flavors before being shredded with forks right in the pot.
The cooking method yields moist shredded chicken coated in a buffalo-style sauce. The texture is soft and easy to pull apart, suitable for spreading or layering in various dishes. The seasoning mix adds complexity beyond the heat of the hot sauce alone, rounding out the flavor profile.
This preparation is well suited for serving as a main dish, sandwich filling, or a topping over nachos and salads, offering flexibility for meals with varying levels of spice and texture preferences.
Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator and consume within five days to maintain quality and safety.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 pkg ranch seasoning mix 1 oz
- 12 oz hot sauce we used Frank’s Original Hot Sauce
- 4 Tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6 quart crock pot.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the hot sauce and ranch seasoning mix. Pour this sauce on top of the chicken in the crock pot. Cut the butter into chunks and place on top on the ingredients in the crock pot.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 3 hours. Then shred the chicken with 2 forks.
- Then the chicken is ready to serve as is or top on sandwiches or on top of nachos or salads. Enjoy!
Notes
- Keep leftover buffalo chicken refrigerated in an airtight container and use within 5 days for best taste and safety.
