Instructions

Directions

  • Start by chopping the garlic and measuring out all the ingredients.
  • In your crockpot, combine the buffalo sauce, melted butter, minced garlic, honey, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Gently place the chicken breasts into the sauce, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
  • Cover the crockpot and set it to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  • Carefully remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks.
  • Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and toss it with the remaining sauce.

Notes

Ensure chicken breasts are fully submerged in the sauce for maximum flavor absorption. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
