I have been making this slow cooker buffalo chicken for many years. It is one of the first recipes (along with this recipe for crockpot turkey chili) I discovered after buying my first slow cooker many moons ago. I’ve tweaked the recipe many times and finally settled on this recipe after I discovered that more liquid in a slow cooker chicken recipe is best, making for moist and flavorful chicken.

We have shared other tasty crockpot recipes over the years, including Crockpot Pesto Chicken, Crockpot Cajun Sausage and Potatoes, Crockpot Italian Meatballs, Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Soup with Biscuits, Crockpot Hawaiian Chicken, and Slow Cooker Beef Chili.
