❤️ 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!
🔪 Instructions
- Place the chicken in the slow cooker.
- 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.
- 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!

Mmmmmm! Love the crock pot!
Rachelle @ "Mommy? I'm Hungry!"
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!)
