Pulled Buffalo Chicken

Every now and then I get a hankering for chicken wings. The problem is that the wings you get at the bar are fried then tossed in buttery hot sauce goodness. My stomach can't really handle all that deep fried goodness but I still want that buffalo chicken flavor. So next best thing is pulled buffalo chicken. 



Another plus of this recipe is that it's super easy - 1 bottle of Frank's Red Hot Sauce, 1 packet of Ranch dip mix (or 3 Tbs of homemade ranch dip mix), and 4 chicken breasts. Put all in the crock pot and cook on low for 7-8 hours. Once the chicken is cooked, pull out of crock pot and let cool slightly. Then shred with 2 forks. Put shredded meat back into the crock pot and coat with cooked hot sauce. Then enjoy! You could put it on a bun for a yummy sandwich or I'm planning to incorporate it into a lunch salad with ranch dressing, celery, carrots and lettuce. I've also used this chicken as a base for a buffalo chicken dip. Since the hot sauce gets cooked, it's not quite so spicy. Yum yum yum!!
