Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup homemade chicken stock or canned chicken broth
  • 1 tsp. Poultry Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 3/4 cup Franks Red Hot Sauce see Notes

Instructions

  • Trim excess fat from the chicken breasts and halve each breast lengthwise so you have thinner pieces.
  • Place the chicken pieces in the slow cooker insert in a single layer or slightly overlapping.
  • In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup chicken stock, 1 tsp poultry seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp onion powder. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH for about 3 hours, or until the chicken pulls apart easily with a fork.
  • When the chicken is done, transfer it to a colander set in the sink and discard the cooking liquid. Let the chicken cool for a few minutes so it’s easier to handle.
  • Shred the chicken with two forks (or by hand) into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup Frank’s RedHot Sauce, 2 T olive oil, 2 T Worcestershire sauce, 2 tsp Green Tabasco sauce (optional), and 1 T sweetener until smooth.
  • Return the shredded chicken to the empty slow cooker (or keep it in the bowl) and pour the sauce over the chicken. Stir gently to coat all the chicken evenly.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH for 10–15 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the sauce is heated through and the chicken is well coated.
  • Serve immediately, or cool and store the buffalo chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat before serving.
