Instructions
- Spray the bottom of a slow cooker lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Place the chicken in the slow cooker; sprinkle the ranch seasoning on the meat. Pour the buffalo wing sauce over top.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Shred the chicken with two forks and give everything a good stir so that the meat is well combined with the sauce. Taste and season with kosher salt and extra ground black pepper, if desired.
- Garnish with chopped fresh herbs or sliced green onions and serve!
Notes
- Buffalo wing sauce is spicy. If you want a more mild option, look for "mild" buffalo wing sauce (we use Frank's Red Hot brand).
- If you'd like to control the sodium in your dish, use a homemade Ranch seasoning blend and limit the amount of salt that you add.
- Every slow cooker runs at a slightly different temperature (which is why the recipe gives you general time ranges rather than exact times). Since my slow cooker tends to cook at a relatively high temperature, I find that the meal is best when cooked on HIGH for about 2 hours or on LOW for about 4 hours. That keeps the chicken moist and juicy, and prevents it from drying out. Just get familiar with your pot and adjust accordingly.
