Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Sliders are deliciously soft and full of flavor! They make a simple weeknight meal for your family, but are also perfect for entertaining a crowd!

An Easy Slow Cooker Meal

I love all kinds of sliders! The classic ham and cheese sliders and hamburger sliders are always classic choices, but then there are the ones that are a little outside of the box. Like Philly cheesesteak sliders, Hawaiian beef sliders, and these crockpot buffalo chicken sliders.

They are one of my favorite ways to serve a crowd!

These crockpot buffalo chicken sliders take the tangy, spicy flavors we all love about buffalo chicken wings and mix it with ranch seasoning for extra zip. You cook it low and slow in the slow cooker with chicken breast until the meat is falling apart and so tender. The saucy goodness is then piled high between fluffy Hawaiian rolls and a layer of melty cheese.

These handheld sammies make the perfect game day appetizers, snacks, and sandwiches to pack in school lunch boxes. The best part is that making them in the crockpot doesn’t get any easier!

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Not only do these Buffalo Chicken sliders taste amazing, but they happen to be one of the EASIEST recipes you will ever make! Toss 3 ingredients into your crock pot and you’re good to go! This meal is complete perfection!

INGREDIENTS –

• Chicken breasts: boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I use about 4, which fits in nicely in my crockpot. You can always make more if you’ve got a crockpot big enough.
• Buffalo sauce: I use Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce. Wing sauce is essentially hot sauce with melted butter added to it. If you want to make your own, go for it!
• Ranch dip mix: A packet of the dry mix is all you need for added seasoning.
• Hawaiian rolls: Hawaiian rolls come in sheets. Separate them and slice them in half like you would hamburger buns. For a low-carb option, turn these into little lettuce wraps. Swap the slider buns for lettuce leaves.
• Cheese slices: Cheddar cheese slices are great, but you can go for your favorite here – Mozzarella cheese, Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, Gruyere, and Bleu cheese crumbles are a great pairing with the buffalo flavor.
• For serving: Ranch dressing and veggie sticks, if desired.

DIRECTIONS –

• Step 1: Add the chicken breasts to the basin of your crockpot.
• Step 2: Pour the entire bottle of buffalo sauce over the chicken breast.
• Step 3: Sprinkle the packet of ranch seasoning overtop. Mix well to make sure everything is evenly distributed and the chicken is well coated.
• Step 4: Cover with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
• Step 5: With 30 minutes left in the cooking time, remove the chicken to a cutting board or bowl. Use two forks to shred the chicken and return it to the pot with the sauce. Continue cooking for the remaining 30 minutes.
• Step 6: Once it’s ready to serve, add 2-3 spoonfuls of the shredded chicken to each bun. Top with cheese and top bun and enjoy with a side of veggies and dip!
