Add kick to juicy chicken thighs by simmering them in a tangy sauce until they're tender enough to shred, then serve on buns for flavorful sandwiches for lunch. You can also use the chicken filling in tacos or in a salad with blue cheese dressing. This chicken recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Slow Cooker" (Clarkson Potter).

Time 4h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup hot-pepper sauce
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon unsulfured molasses
8 hamburger buns, for serving
Pickled vegetables, for serving

Steps:

Preheat a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add half the chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring once, until meat is golden brown, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to the slow cooker, leaving as much oil behind as possible. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Reduce heat to medium. Add onion, garlic, bell pepper, and 1/4 cup water to skillet. Cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from bottom with a spoon, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the slow cooker and toss with chicken.
Add crushed tomatoes, hot-pepper sauce, Worcestershire, mustard, and molasses to slow cooker; stir to combine. Cover and cook on high until chicken is very tender, 4 hours (or on low for 8 hours).
Transfer chicken to a large plate. Using two forks, shred chicken; return to sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Serve on buns, with pickled vegetables on the side.

SPICY BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches image

From Southern Living May 2009 Special "Movie Night" Section, these sandwiches were rated "mild" by the test staff for heat level. Let guests add more hot sauce to taste. I like the inclusion of crispy carrots and celery to this sandwich -- a good way to get some extra veggies! This recipe includes the usual blue cheese dressing, which I personally do not like, so I would substitute ranch dressing, and shredded parmesan or swiss cheese for the blue cheese crumbles. You can also used grilled or roasted chicken strips to avoid the 'fried stuff' -- still delicious.

Time 20m

Yield 6 sandwiches, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup buffalo-style hot sauce, divided
6 hoagie rolls, split
1/3 cup refrigerated blue cheese dressing (or ranch dressing)
1/2 teaspoon creole seasoning
1 1/2 cups matchstick-cut carrots
1 1/2 cups diagonally sliced celery
1/4 cup finely chopped onion (optional)
12 large deli-fried chicken strips (about 1 1/4 pound)
1 (4 ounce) package crumbled blue cheese (or shredded parmesan or swiss cheese)
buffalo-style hot sauce (extra-optional)

Steps:

Stir together butter and 2 teaspoons hot sauce. Brush cut sides of rolls evenly with mixture. Place, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted.
Stir together blue cheese dressing, 2-3 teaspoons hot sauce, and Creole seasoning. Add carrots, celery, and if desired, onion; toss to coat.
Arrange chicken on bottom halves of rolls; drizzle evenly with remaining hot sauce.
Layer chicken evenly with carrot mixture and crumbled blue cheese.
Top with remaining roll halves. Serve with additional hot sauce, if desired.

Tips:

Use a good-quality hot sauce. This is the key ingredient that will give your sandwiches their flavor, so don't skimp on it. If you can, try to find a hot sauce that has a good balance of heat and flavor.
Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will help the chicken to absorb the flavor of the hot sauce and spices.
Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken that is overcooked will be tough and dry.
Use a good-quality bun. The bun is an important part of the sandwich, so make sure you use a bun that is sturdy enough to hold up to the chicken and sauce.
Add your favorite toppings. There are many different toppings that you can add to your buffalo chicken sandwiches, such as blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, celery, and carrots.

Buffalo chicken sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is sure to be a hit with everyone.
