A Few Cook’s Notes for Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken
I use Frank’s Buffalo Sauce for this recipe, but my son Sean like Moore’s. You can use whatever buffalo sauce you prefer.
The chicken will need to register 165 degrees F with a meat thermometer to be fully cooked.
I like to shred my chicken in my stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. If you don’t have one, by all means use two forks. You could also use a large deep bowl and a hand mixer.
