Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Oh my goodness. I made a batch of these slow cooker Buffalo chicken sliders and watched them disappear lickity-split. All of my favorite flavors in a single bite: chickeny Buffalo wing sauce, Ranch dressing, and cheese. This might just be the most perfect recipe for a crowd. It can’t get any easier, just toss all of the ingredients for the filling into the slow cooker and a few hours later, you’ve got crazy good sliders.

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Feed A Crowd. Quickly.

I think you could make a little ‘slider bar’ for these slow cooker Buffalo chicken sliders. Let folks choose from blue cheese, gorgonzola, jalapenos, chopped celery, carrots, cilantro… you name it! Oh, and extra Ranch dressing too for those that are Ranch-aholics like myself. Half the time I think I make Buffalo-flavored dishes just so I have an excuse to have more Ranch dressing in my life.

Go Mild. Or Hot.

You can use a mild Buffalo sauce if you’re worried about too much heat. You can always serve a hotter sauce on the side for dipping the sandwiches. Just get a good grip on the slider buns first. You don’t want the yummy chicken sliding off into the sauce.

Equipment

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pour wing sauce and dressing mix into a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Pour into a slow cooker set on low.
  • Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6 hours until fall-apart tender. If the chicken breasts are too large to be submerged in the sauce, flip them over halfway thru the cooking time.
  • Remove breasts to a cutting board and shred or chop as desired.
  • Return to the slow cooker and cook another 30 minutes.
  • Brown buns if desired.
  • Top buns with meat and cheese and place under broiler for just enough time to lightly melt the cheese.
  • Drizzle with a little salad dressing and serve.

Notes

I also added a teaspoon or so of the sauce from the slow cooker to the sandwiches.

Fire-Eater Chicken Mac-and-Cheese

I made a big ole batch of fire-eater chicken the other day. It has a really nice kick to it. Besides sandwiches and other great uses for the chicken, I made this insanely good fire-eater chicken mac-and-cheese. It’s based on a Buffalo chicken mac-and-cheese recipe, so you know that it’s great. And you don’t have to use fire-eater chicken, any roasted (or rotisserie) chicken will do, but I highly recommend the kicked-up flavor of the fire-eater version.

Fire-Eater Chicken Mac-and-Cheese

Creamy Crunchy Spiciness

This fire-eater chicken mac-and-cheese is creamy, like it should be. And crunchy, thanks to the celery and panko breadcrumbs. And it has a kick to it. Just like I like. We’ve all had the standard mac-and-cheese. It’s time to add some spice!

Creamy Buffalo Wings

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

Oh man, what great wings these creamy Buffalo wings were. They disappeared in no time at all. They’re a simple take on the traditional Buffalo wing, with the same great spicy heat, but with a creamier sauce. Flat-out delicious and definitely finger-licking fantastic.

Creamy Buffalo Wings

I cooked the wings on my Vortex insert, which I use on my Weber Performer grill. The Vortex concentrates the heat from the charcoal into a circle, which you then surround with the wings. The chicken wings cook up super tasty and crisp in just over 30 minutes. I let them cool only slightly then tossed them with the creamy Buffalo wing sauce. And then I went to town on them. It was almost embarrassing, but you’ll understand once you try them.

I store my homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out thirty minutes to an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot food!

Buffalo Wing Saltines

Making a big ole batch of Fire-Eater saltines inspired me to make even more varieties of flavor-infused crackers. This is a fantastic way to take plain ole kinda boring crackers and turn them into something special. Of course, my next choice was Buffalo wing saltines since I eat anything Buffalo-ish. These incredibly easy-to-make snacks are just what you’d expect: crunchy and packed with flavor. They bring that great traditional Buffalo wing flavor.

Very Addicting Buffalo Treats

Serve Buffalo wing saltines with softened cream cheese to help ‘cool’ the kick if you desire. I just eat them by the handful straight out of the bag.

Buffalo Wing Hummus

If you follow this blog you know that I’m a lover of all things Buffalo-wing-flavored. From wraps to pizza to cauliflower. And of course, chicken wings! I’m not picky as long as it has that great vinegary heat with a hint of butter. So why wouldn’t I make Buffalo wing hummus? Yep, smooth hummus with that sneak-up-on-you spicy classic flavor. Perfect and as an added bonus it was a big hit at our last family get-together. As much as I liked it, I can’t say I was expecting such high praise for it! It was a happy day for sure!

Buffalo Wing Hummus

A Different Tasting Hummus

There’s nothing wrong with dipping pita bread in this Buffalo wing hummus, but since there’s wing flavors in there, don’t forget to have some celery and carrot sticks around too. Just to keep it ‘classic’.

It’s up to you to decide how chunky or creamy you want your hummus to be. If this is your first time making it I suggest that you start out slow. Process it in your food processor just a bit and take a taste. Want it creamer? Keep going. Error on the side of caution, though. You can’t un-process it!

Buffalo Wing Burgers

These Buffalo wing burgers are further proof that chicken or turkey burgers do not have to be boring or bland. These are definitely our go-to no-beef burgers. A little spiciness, tender patties, and oh, my favorite, Buffalo wing flavor. Topped with a dressing that is both sweet and spicy. Perfect!

Buffalo Wing Burgers

My Favorite Turkey Burgers

I’ve already made these Buffalo wing burgers several times. We absolutely love them. So far, I have only made them with ground turkey, since we prefer the texture of ground turkey over chicken. Well, that and ground turkey has been on sale lately!

I like to use a burger press when I make burgers. It, in combination with some patty papers, enables me to crank out a whole bunch of equally-sized burger patties in no time at all with little cleanup.

Buffalo Slaw

We absolutely loved this Buffalo slaw. It is no doubt one of our favorite non-traditional slaws. It is creamy, and smooth, thanks to mayo, sour cream and blue cheese crumbles. There’s a great celery crunch. There’s just a hint of Buffalo wing sauce flavor. Served cold, this slaw complements any meal, and specially, something hot off of the grill! It’s also great heaped on top of something hot off of the grill!

Buffalo Slaw

Nice And Blue Cheesy

If you find that blue cheese is a bit too strong for you, you can substitute Gorgonzola cheese crumbles. This slaw is great with either. But it does need some tang, some funkiness. So don’t leave it out.

This slaw is great by itself. I also like it on top of a grilled chicken sandwich.

Buffalo Potato Wedges

If you follow this blog, you know I love Buffalo chicken wings. And anything that reminds me of Buffalo chicken wings. Such as these Buffalo potato wedges. You can’t possibly find anything easier to make, and they taste just like Buffalo chicken wings.

Buffalo Potato Wedges

Buffalo Flavor In Every Bite

I baked the potato wedges, but you could deep fry them also. You could probably also get away with using pre-cooked baked fries. Just toss them in some sauce before serving. Instead of ketchup, serve your Buffalo potato wedges with Ranch for dipping. Or even blue cheese dressing. I don’t think I’d go so far as to add celery and carrot sticks, though.

  • Preheat your oven to 425 F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Clean each potato and dry well with a paper towel.
  • Cut potatoes into wedges (the smaller you cut them, the crispier they’ll get). Try to make them all about the same size so they cook in the same time.
  • Place wedges into a large bowl and drizzle with the oil. Toss to coat well.
  • Transfer potatoes to the baking sheet. Spread them out so they do not overlap or touch.
  • Bake potatoes for 30 minutes.
  • Flip each wedge over and bake another 20 minutes until nice and crunchy and golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, warm the wing sauce in a small sauce pan.
  • Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl and drizzle with the wing sauce. Toss to coat.
  • Serve immediately (or the potatoes will get soggy) with Ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

Of course you can use blue cheese dressing instead!

Buffalo Hot Dogs

Wow, I was blown away by these Buffalo hot dogs. They’re crazy easy to make, but they have a little wing-like kick (thanks to plenty of Frank’s RedHot sauce) and the blue cheese absolutely go great with hot grilled all-beef hot dogs. Wing sauce on a hot dog is a great thing. Skip the ketchup.

Look Different. Taste Fantastic.

The celery and carrot topping added a nice crunch to these dogs. I have to admit, when I order or make chicken wings, I tend to skip the veggies. But, these dogs need them.

Buffalo Cowboy Caviar

My wife can attest to my (somewhat) shocking addiction to all things Buffalo wings. So, she wasn’t surprised when I served up this Buffalo Cowboy caviar. What was surprising, though, was just how much we both absolutely loved it. Beans, peas, tomatoes, cilantro, green onions, all good things. But the crunch of the corn and the smoothness of the avocado, along with spicy Buffalo wing sauce pushed this slide up a few notches on the ‘love it’ scale.

Buffalo Cowboy Caviar

Surprisingly Good

For a twist, use corn-on-the-cob that has been roasted on a grill or under the broiler until lightly charred. Cut the kernels from the ears (or better, use a corn peeler!) and add to the caviar. You’ll need 3-4 good sized ears to make Buffalo Cowboy caviar.
