Instructions
- Drizzle a large skillet with oil and preheat to medium-high. Add chicken pieces and 1/3 cup corn starch to a large resealable bag. Seal and shake to coat chicken. Add chicken to pan and saute 1-2 minutes, just long enough to brown the very outside of the chicken, it won't be fully cooked at this point.
- Grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray. Add chicken.
- In a medium bowl whisk together all sauce ingredients. Pour over chicken and stir to distribute. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours. Serve with cooked rice. For extra heat, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
Notes
- You can half the sauce for a little bit healthier version. If you do this, be sure to check on the chicken around 3 hours. This sauce is fairly spicy, if you want to tone down the heat a bit you can reduce the amount of buffalo sauce.
