Who wants to turn on the oven right now? Not me – it’s so hot outside my slow cooker has become my best friend all over again and any quick and easy meal I can make to avoid the oven is high on my list.
It’s me Claire from A Little CLAIREification back with this delicious 3 ingredient Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken which also makes a great addition to any cookout.
It certainly has a bit of a kick so it’s definitely recommended if you like a little spice, otherwise you could just substitute BBQ sauce for the wing sauce or find a milder sauce to use.
Speaking of sauce – I also noticed it’s really saucy so I think you could even double the chicken, or at least add another half a package, which I am going to do next time, especially if I am serving more than 4-5 people.
It really doesn’t get much easier than this as far as prep goes. Just toss the chicken in the ranch dressing mix and add it to the slow cooker with the sauce. Done.
We used some delicious French style rolls and you could use whichever you prefer. I love the tangy flavor of the blue cheese crumbles on top but that’s optional. You could always offer it on the side for guests that might like it.
