Preparation

Step 1

Set aside two tablespoons of the Buffalo wing sauce.

You are going to use this later for the dressing (celery slaw).

Spray your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or add a slow cooker liner.

Then add in chicken breasts.

Season breasts with a little salt and pepper.

Then pour in the rest of the bottle of Buffalo Wing Sauce.

You are going to use the whole bottle of sauce except for the 2 tbsp. you set aside. (See my Cook's Notes below)

Cover and cook on low for about 3-4 hours.

When ready, put the breasts onto a plate and shred with two forks.

Set aside a generous 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid that is left in the slow cooker(you can toss the rest).

The chicken should be very tender and easy to shred at this point.
Or you can use your stand mixer to shred.

Transfer chicken to a medium bowl. Pour in 1/2 cup of the leftover cooking liquid over the shredded chicken and stir well.

At this point you can put the shredded chicken back into your slow cooker (after you have disgarded leftover cooking juices), cover and keep it on the warm setting until ready to serve.

Now it's time to make a quick little slaw to put on top.

In a bowl, combine ranch or blue cheese dressing with 2 tbsp. buffalo wing sauce,sliced onions and celery.

I'm using my Homemade Ranch Dressing for this but you can use your favorite bottled dressing. I just happened to have some made up when I made this.

Also, if you prefer blue cheese dressing then please use that instead.
Serve shredded chicken on rolls and spoon some of the celery slaw on top.
Or if it is easier, you can just combine this slaw with the shredded chicken just before serving and serve it up that way.
