Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sauce & Seasoning
- 10 oz buffalo wing sauce
- 1 oz ranch seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Pour the buffalo wing sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle the ranch seasoning evenly. Mix everything gently to ensure the chicken is well coated with the sauce and seasoning.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours, or alternatively on high heat for 3-4 hours. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender enough to shred easily.
- Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, mixing it well with the sauce for maximum flavor absorption.
- Serve: Serve the shredded buffalo chicken on sandwich buns, in wraps, or as a topping for salads according to your preference.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add extra buffalo wing sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper before cooking.
- Use thick sandwich buns or slider rolls to hold the shredded chicken better.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for a classic buffalo experience.
