If you love the flavor of buffalo wings, then this recipe is for you! Tender chicken cooked in the slow cooker loaded with spicy buffalo taste is winner.
Enjoy this easy to make recipe on sandwiches, in dips or when you’d like to amp up a simple baked potato.Buffalo Chicken cooked low and slow in the crock pot is a recipe with so many uses! It’s a must make on game day, the Super Bowl or when you’re tailgating.
When life gets busy and I feel pulled in 20 different directions, it’s easy to get overwhelmed, especially with the age old question “what’s for dinner” coming from a hungry family. One of the ways I take back a little control of the craziness is with my slow cooker. Most weeks, I use it for at least one meal and many times, my trusty helper gets used twice.
This week I got a little inspiration from my buddy Stacey Little, blogger & writer of the cookbook, The Southern Bite. I took a few of the ingredients from an appetizer recipe and turned it into something for the slow cooker…buffalo chicken! I think this recipe has a few extra lives like turning it into a hot dip, nachos or served over a baked potato. This is one easy dish that solves so many problems…mostly, just helping to keep this Southern Soul sane.

What size bottle of hot sauce? This sounds yummy and much easier than the wings I usually make.

Hey Trish! I use the 12oz bottle. I hope this helps. I agree that this is easier than wings! I do love a crock pot shortcut.
Have a great day,

Thanks for the quick reply Donya. There is a snowy weekend forecast for us and this is my dish to make for the weekend. Should keep us warm in several ways. Cheers, Trish
