I saw this recipe on a parenting forum and modified it. You can sub low fat ingredients, but please don't use fat free. Adjust the hot wing sauce to your liking (heat and amount) I actually add more than 1/2 cup. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs: These cuts of chicken are lean and cook quickly in the slow cooker.
- Trim any excess fat from the chicken: This will help reduce the amount of grease in the dish.
- Season the chicken with your favorite spices: Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Use a good quality buffalo sauce: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts will only take about 3-4 hours on low or 1-2 hours on high in the slow cooker. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
- Add the pasta to the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking: This will ensure that the pasta is cooked through but not mushy.
- Top the pasta with your favorite toppings: Some good options include shredded cheese, blue cheese dressing, and chopped green onions.
