frugalgirls.com – I Dream of Paris

Hello again! Tonight, I decided to go through my Food & Drink Pinterest board and try another recipe that I’ve had my eye on for a while now. Both Andrew and I LOVE chicken wings, but hate the mess that comes with them, so I thought that this slow cooker buffalo chicken would be a great substitute.

I’ve tried a few chicken recipes using the slow cooker, and to be honest, I’m not usually a fan. I don’t know what it is, but for some reason every recipe I try seems to flop! But I am going to give this one a shot and will keep my fingers crossed that the bad slow cooker chicken streak will come to an end.

This recipe comes from TheFrugalGirls.com. What I love is that the ingredients and recipe are simple and easy to follow. I’m not a master chef (yet), so the easier the recipe, the better! Plus, I get to use my slow cooker again :)!

The ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thawed
1.5 cups Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce
1 pack Club House Ranch Style Dressing & Dip Mix

The steps:

Cook the chicken in the slow cooker for 2 hours (the original recipe said 3, but like I said in my last post, my slow cooker seems to take less time to cook things!)
Once the chicken is done, drain the juices from the slow cooker
Mix the Frank’s Sauce with the Ranch Mix, pour over chicken
Continue to cook on high for 15 minutes (again, I adjusted the time to suit my slow cooker)
Serve with veggies and dip, on a bun, or with any other side you wish!

This is totally off topic, but this is what Guinness decided to do while I was getting things ready for this recipe. What a ham!

There are 2 things that I found with this recipe that you should keep in mind:

The Frank’s Sauce mixture is VERY strong, so be prepared to have your home smell like it lol.
The chicken ended up being kind of dry, so I would suggest adding some sort of liquid (like broth or water) to the slow cooker to keep the meat moist.
