🥘 How to make Buffalo Ranch Chicken in the Crockpot
STEP 1: Whisk the Sauce
- Whisk Hot Sauce with Ranch Seasoning, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Dried Parsley, and Sour Cream.
- Dump the Chicken Thighs in the slow cooker
- Pour the Hot Sauce mixture over the chicken
- Cover and slow cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
STEP 2: Garnish and Serve
- Once the chicken gets cooked, get them out of the crock pot
- Shred the Chicken using two forks
- Toss with the sauce
- Garnish with chopped Parsley and Serve.
Remember: Do not add extra salt as the Ranch seasoning has salt in it.
💡 Hint: Do not add extra salt while cooking the Chicken. If you think that too much hot sauce will make it too spicy, then reduce it by half and use Chicken Broth for the remaining half amount.
📝 Variations
- Spicy - Add more of Red Hot Sauce to make this spicy
- Cheesy - You can serve this with shredded Cheddar Cheese for extra cheesy taste.
- Sour Cream - If you do not have Sour Cream you can replace it with thick greek yogurt.
🧊 Storage
You can store this Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week. I will not suggest you to freeze this dish as it has sour cream and it doesn't stand well upon freezing
👩🍳 Make Ahead Buffalo Ranch Sauce
You can whisk this Buffalo Ranch Sauce and refrigerate this in an airtight container in the refrigerator for upto 2 weeks. Use leftover sauce as a salad dressing and it's going to taste sooo amazing.
Or, just fill it inside Sandwiches with some Blue Cheese crumbles on top. Its perfect for Game Day as well...!
