Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, sliced

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken breasts in an even layer in a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour buffalo sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with ranch seasoning, and scatter butter on top.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until the chicken shreds easily with a fork.
  3. Shred the chicken with two forks directly in the slow cooker, then toss with the sauce until thoroughly coated. Serve hot.

Notes

This recipe works best when the chicken sits in a single layer, so use a slow cooker at least 6 quarts for this amount. The chicken will hold well on the “warm” setting for up to 2 hours after cooking if you’re not serving right away.
