    ❤️ Why you'll love it

    ✔️ Fans of buffalo chicken wings will love this easy to make slow cooker recipe.

    ✔️ It is a great recipe to make for game day and keep warm in the slow cooker for guests to assemble on their own.

    ✔️ Leftovers make great grilled cheese sandwiches!

    🥘 Ingredients

    Boneless skinless chicken breasts, if chicken breasts are large, cut them into smaller pieces to allow the sauce to absorb into the meat while cooking.

    Buffalo wing sauce, I love this brand.

    Chunky blue cheese dressing, I love this brand with big chunks of blue cheese!

    Optional sandwich toppings: Lettuce, tomato, onion

    Burger buns or slider rolls, I prefer the slider rolls as I love smaller sandwiches. I think they are easier to handle as well.

    Gorgonzola cheese crumbles, these are optional but are so delicious topping the sandwich!

    Cooked chicken pieces with buffalo sauce.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Place the chicken in the slow cooker.
    2. In a small bowl, using a hand whisk, mix together the wing sauce and blue cheese dressing. Pour the sauce mixture over top of the chicken and cook on low 6 to 8 hours.
    3. Serve the chicken and sauce on sandwich rolls with lettuce, tomato, and extra cheese crumbles.

    🥄 Equipment

    Slow cooker, for cooking the chicken

    Mixing bowls, to mix the sauce

    Hand whisk, to blend the sauce mixture.

    🥫Storage

    Store any leftover buffalo chicken in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.

    📖 Variations

    • Skip the slow cooker and bake some breaded chicken patties, then coat them in the sauce for a crispy buffalo chicken sandwich.
    • Use ranch dressing or a ranch dressing mix in place of the blue cheese dressing.
    • Substitute blue cheese crumbles for the gorgonzola.
    • Make shredded buffalo chicken sandwiches and pull the chicken pieces apart and toss with the sauce before serving.

    💭 Tips

    For a more budget friendly recipe, use boneless skinless chicken thighs in place of the chicken breasts or tenders.

      BIG YUM! I am going to try this...definitely! I have some Frank's Hot Wing Sauce to use up from a couple weeks ago when I opened a big bottle to use in my Buffalo Wing Macaroni and Cheese. I bet it will be perfect for this. And I'm a hot mama too...love hot sauce!

      LOL Grumpy! I am not a hot saucy mama, I like a little heat, that's it. Although I did acquire a thing for nachos, cheese sauce and lots of jalapenos at the race track last season!

      So, did he like them? They sound good! (and girl, you are fast posting this!)
