Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best in this recipe. If you use bone-in chicken, increase the cooking time by about 30 minutes.
- Make sure your chicken is thawed: If you're using frozen chicken, thaw it completely before cooking. This will help the chicken cook evenly.
- Use a good quality buffalo sauce: The buffalo sauce is the key to this recipe, so make sure you use one that you like. You can find buffalo sauce in most grocery stores.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 4 hours on low or 2 hours on high.
- Serve the chicken immediately: Buffalo chicken is best served hot and fresh. You can serve it with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and blue cheese dressing.
Conclusion:
This slow cooker buffalo chicken recipe is an easy and delicious way to make a classic party food. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful buffalo sauce until it is tender and juicy. Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
