Sep 24, 2021 No Comments

Crockpot Buffalo Ranch Chicken is the definition of comfort food. Shredded Chicken tossed in a creamy Buffalo Ranch Sauce. The Chicken is slow cooked in the sauce which makes them extra juicy and flavorful. Top with some crumbled Blue Cheese and serve it with sliders or inside lettuce cups or sandwiches or fill inside Tacos and it's going to be gone in minutes. Plus this is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

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...!

Notes

You can use shredded Rotisserie Chicken for easier cooking. 
I prefer to cook this chicken on low however if you're on a rush you can cook on high for 4 hours. 
I have not included salt in this recipe because the Ranch Seasoning has salt in it. If you want, you can add extra salt as per your taste. 
If you do not have Ranch Seasoning, make your homemade Ranch Seasoning or use 1/4 cup of Ranch Dressing if you have that. 
You can use my recipe of homemade Hot Sauce if you do not have any at home.
