Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breasts or chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons chicken wing seasoning click link for the recipe
- 1 cup buffalo sauce divided
Instructions
- Rub the chicken with the chicken wing seasoning, then place it in a large Crock Pot. Cover with ¾ cup of buffalo sauce.
- Slow cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
- Remove the lid from the slow cooker, use two forks to shred the chicken in the slow cooker. Add the remaining ¼ cup buffalo sauce to the slow cooker and toss to combine.
Notes
- You can replace the chicken wing seasoning with 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning + 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or 1 teaspoon salt + 1 teaspoon chili powder + 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
- One pound of chicken will give you approximately 2 cups of shredded chicken. Chicken breasts and thighs vary in size greatly. When determining how much shredded chicken you’ll need for a recipe, I recommend going by weight NOT the number of breasts or thighs.
- This recipe can be made with 1 pound of chicken, or up to 6 pounds of chicken, using a 7 quart Crock Pot. If making the recipe with 1 pound of chicken, cut the seasoning and buffalo sauce in half. If doubling or tripling this recipe to make 4 or 6 pounds of chicken, you’ll want to double or triple the amount of seasoning and buffalo sauce.
- Cooked, shredded chicken will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the shredded chicken in an airtight container, like a freezer bag, for up to 6 months.
- To make creamy buffalo chicken, stir in ½ cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing, after you’ve cooked and shredded the chicken.
