If you’re a fan of spicy buffalo wings you’ll love these buffalo chicken sliders! They’re jam packed with hot sauce flavor but in an adorable and easy to eat mini sandwich. You make the chicken in your crock pot (easy peasy!), which melds all the flavors together and makes the chicken oh so tender. Then once you’ve got it shredded you pile it high on buns, top with cheese and dig in.
This is such a fantastic and simple recipe. My family and I make these over and over and never get tired of them. Try them for yourself and I guarantee you’ll have a new favorite recipe.
Ingredients
6-7 boneless chicken breasts (I used frozen and put them right in the slow cooker frozen)
1 medium size onion, diced
1/2 stick of butter, cut in pieces
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. celery salt
1 pkg. dry ranch dressing mix
1 1/2 cups hot wing sauce, divided ( I used Texas Peete, but any you like works fine)
1 pkg. provolone or Swiss cheese slices
1 pkg. dinner rolls (King’s Hawaiian dinner rolls work well)
blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing
shredded lettuce
Instructions
Spray a slow cooker with nonstick spray. Place diced onion in the bottom. Place chicken on top of the onion. Sprinkle with the black pepper, garlic powder, celery salt, and ranch dressing mix. Place pats of butter on top of the chicken. Pour 1 cup of the hot wing sauce over all. Reserve the other 1/2 cup for later. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours.
Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks. Keep about 1 cup of the liquid the chicken cooked in and place the shredded chicken back in it in the slow cooker. Pour the reserved 1/2 cup of wing sauce over the chicken and mix it all together. I like to let it cook on low for about another hour, but you can go ahead and serve immediately also.
Place a slice of the provolone on each dinner roll and then the chicken. Top with shredded lettuce and dressing of your choice or serve plain! These are going to disappear fast! If you have a big crowd you will want to double this recipe!

Quick tip: Add a few ounces of cream cheese (about half a block) to your slow cooker for extra creamy sliders.
