These crockpot chicken sandwiches are a simple and delicious meal to make. They are perfect for a quick dinner after a long day.
This week’s recipe for my Year of Martha Stewart Cooking Challenge is a recipe that I shared back in 2013 for my Crock Pot Favorites series.
I changed up the recipe slightly, but it is the same basic idea that Martha Stewart shared.
My husband loves these. This recipe is a delicious way to change up your basic shredded chicken sandwich.
FAQ’s
What is buffalo chicken?
Buffalo chicken is usually deep fried chicken with a tangy hot sauce. This slow cooker buffalo chicken sandwich recipe is not quite the traditional recipe, but it is a delicious take on the classic recipe.
Can I freeze the leftovers?
Yes, the leftovers freeze great. Let it cool completely and freeze. Defrost, reheat, and serve.
Are they gluten free?
If you are gluten-free you can eat them over gluten-free bread or eat them bunless like we do. Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken is also great served over baked potatoes.
What if I don’t have chicken?
I think this recipe would work great with pork, but then it would not be buffalo chicken.

- garlic, minced

This looks awesome! I am pinning this to plan into my menu. I like your slow cooker series. It’s been very helpful! Thanks.
My son would love this! He would eat hot wings every meal if he could so this will be a great addition to my menu plan.
Lynn,
This is probably a silly question, but is the mustard in this recipe regular yellow prepared mustard or ground mustard?
I am so sorry that it took so long for me to answer this. I have been really behind on email and some comments. It is regular prepared mustard, not ground mustard. And that is not a silly question at all.
