Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are both good options for this recipe. If you use chicken breasts, you may need to cook them for a little longer.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. If you have a lot of chicken to cook, you may need to cook it in batches. Overcrowding the slow cooker will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality buffalo sauce. The buffalo sauce is the key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure you use a good quality sauce that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't skip the blue cheese dressing. The blue cheese dressing is the perfect complement to the spicy buffalo chicken. If you don't like blue cheese dressing, you can substitute ranch dressing or another type of dressing that you enjoy.
  • Serve the sandwiches with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for buffalo chicken sandwiches include celery sticks, carrot sticks, potato chips, and onion rings.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker spicy buffalo chicken sandwiches are an easy and delicious meal that are perfect for busy weeknights. They are also great for parties and potlucks.
