Tender chicken simmered in buffalo sauce, then shredded and piled high on slider buns. A quick, satisfying weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 12 oz (340 g) bottle buffalo wing sauce
- 2 tbsp ranch mix seasoning
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4-6 sandwich buns
- 4-6 slices cheddar cheese
- blue cheese dressing
- lettuce
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 of a bottle of buffalo wing sauce and ranch seasoning. Stir to combine.
- Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker and pour the wing sauce and ranch seasoning mixture over the chicken.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Shred chicken breasts, add butter and additional wing sauce. Stir well to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for another 30 minutes.
- When chicken is almost ready, preheat the broiler.
- Place cheese slices on bun tops and melt the cheese under the broiler for about 1 minute (depending on your broiler).
- Serve buffalo chicken on buns with lettuce and blue cheese dressing.
Notes
- For richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts and shred the meat off the bone after slow cooking.
- To reduce sodium, use a reduced-sodium buffalo wing sauce and add a pinch of salt to taste after shredding the chicken.
- These sliders can be assembled ahead of time and reheated. Store the shredded chicken separately from the buns to prevent sogginess.
