Shredded Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

Superbowl is this weekend, and although I won't really take part in the festivities, that doesn't mean I need much of an excuse to make buffalo chicken anything.  Now seemed like a fantastic time though!  This is perfect for a party because you just throw everything in a crock-pot and walk away!

{Making the sauce--yes I used a mason jar because my measuring cups were all dirty--don't judge!}

{I made the sauce the night before and marinated the chicken in it}

{I sprinkle some extra blue cheese crumbles I had--delicious!}

{You could also make lettuce wraps with the shredded buffalo chicken}

Shredded Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

Serves 6

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
8 oz hot sauce (I use Frank's Red Hot--this was a bit on the spicy side so reduce and add broth if you don't like it too spicy)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Buns
Cheese (I like blue cheese with this!)

1. Place chicken breasts in a crock-pot.
2. Mix hot sauce, garlic, and spices together until well combined.
3. Add sauce to crock-pot.
4. Cook chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
5. When chicken is done, shred with a fork.
6. Mix milk and cornstarch together until dissolved.
7. Add cornstarch mixture to shredded chicken and cook for another 30 minutes on high until thickened.
8. Serve shredded buffalo chicken on buns with cheese.
