Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Nothing works better for me during the week with our busy schedules than cooking with a slow cooker. Most notably, I like the one-pot, leave-it-and-forget-it feature of a slow cooker.

I shared my Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins with you a few weeks ago. Today I made the chicken portion of the recipe with slightly different ingredients. You could use that chicken seasoning recipe in sliders or this slider recipe on Potato Skins. See how that works? Easy Peasy!

If you’re a sports fan, these sliders would be great for tailgating, game-watching, or party-going. Heck, they’d be good any time, any place! These Chicken and Waffle Sliders will too!

Slider tips

For these Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Slider sandwiches, I found great ciabatta rolls that were slider-sized at the store. You could use regular-sized rolls, and white or whole wheat would also be great.

I like to use Ranch dressing sometimes instead of blue cheese, so that’s another option for you. Do you like blue cheese? I love it, but sometimes I like a change.

I used Frank’s RedHot sauce on the chicken in this recipe, it’s spicy and is lower in calories than traditional buffalo sauce.

To kick it up a little, I added bacon to my sandwich because, well, bacon makes everything better. Do you agree? Of course, make the recipe your own, if you love bacon add extra, not a fan then skip it.
