Method

  1. Place the chicken and buffalo sauce in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-5 hours.
  2. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
  3. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker. Add the ranch mix and butter, and stir until the butter is melted and everything is well combined.
  4. Serve with finger rolls and your choice of cheese.

💡 Tips

  • For a milder version, reduce the buffalo sauce by half.
  • Use a slotted spoon to serve, so the sauce doesn't make the rolls soggy.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
