Crock Pot Buffalo BBQ Chicken Sliders with Ranch Slaw is a sweet and spicy sandwich your family will love. Great for parties or an easy dinner.
There are many versions of Buffalo Chicken Sliders on the internet. My version is made in the crock pot using bone-in chicken breasts, Sweet Baby Ray’s Buffalo Wing Sauce and Honey Barbecue Sauce. I add the barbecue sauce because when I make wings my kids like a mix of buffalo and barbecue, instead of the heat of straight buffalo.
My recipe is a little sweet with just the right amount of heat. If you want to spice it up, just splash more hot sauce on your individual sliders. This recipe would be perfect for a cold Saturday watching March Madness basketball with friends. The ranch slaw adds a nice tang to the slider. Easy to make and kid friendly. If buffalo sauce is not favorite try Beer Braised Shredded Beef Sliders or my famous Homemade Hamburger Sliders.
Directions:
Lightly coat crock pot with cooking spray. Place chicken breasts in crock pot, coat with ranch dressing. Cover with buffalo and bbq sauce. Cover, and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours. As chicken cooks make the Ranch slaw. Once the chicken has cooked, remove the breast to cutting board. Remove bones and roughly shred the meat with two forks.
Return chicken to crock pot, add the butter and stir. Keep chicken warm.
Turn on broiler and place rack in upper third of the oven. Place buns split side up. Lightly toast buns for 2-4 minutes. Top buns with 2 tablespoon chicken and 1 tablespoon of slaw.
Leftovers make great wraps the next day. Sprinkle flour tortillas with cheddar cheese. Top with chicken and slaw.
