Slow-Cooker Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
Hi, my name is Dee, the creator behind Deelicious Sweets. I live in St. Louis, Missouri where I am a stay-at-home mom who makes herself busy through baking, cooking, cleaning, blogging and homeschooling my two quickly growing children, Luke and Natalie. My husband supports me through being my taste-tester and he happily accepts anything sweet or savory I bring his way.

Slow-Cooker Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
I absolutely love my slow-cooker. I love how on a busy day that I can whip up something quickly in the morning, stick it in the slow-cooker and let it do it's thing. That's not all I love about it. I love the aroma it puts throughout my house. I love coming home from a long day out and I know that dinner is ready without much preparation.
What I don't like is I don't very often come across a recipe that I would want to make again. For example, last summer my family and I went to Tennessee with my brother and his family. I had found a slow-cooker recipe for buffalo chicken sandwiches. I thought, how perfect, we can go boating all day and come home with dinner ready.
The recipe was just okay though, I wasn't much impressed. So, my search continued for a yummy slow-cooker spicy buffalo chicken sandwich recipe. Now my search has ended!
Slow-Cooker Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
1 package frozen seasoning blend - onion, celery, peppers, etc.
3 garlic cloves
1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
1/4 cup franks hot wing sauce
3 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon honey
8 hamburger buns
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring once, until meat is golden brown, 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a slow cooker, leaving as much oil behind as possible. Repeat with chicken breasts.
To skillet, seasoning blend and garlic and cook over medium, stirring constantly, until onion is translucent, 6 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits from skillet, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to slow cooker.
To slow cooker, add diced tomatoes, hot-wing sauce, Worcestershire, mustard, and honey; stir to combine. Cover and cook on high until chicken is very tender, 4 hours.
Shred chicken and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve on buns.
Note: I added a little bit of Ranch dressing to my sandwich.

but changed quite a bit to suit what I had on hand
I served this alongside coleslaw. To keep with the quick preparation theme I had going here, I purchased a bag of coleslaw in the produce section and added Marie's Coleslaw Dressing and cracked black pepper. Super yummy, super quick!
Now, I think I need a Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie
~ Enjoy!
