This shredded buffalo chicken is easy to make – in the instant pot or in the slow cooker! Frozen or thawed chicken can be used so it’s even easier than you ever imagined and so tasty!
I’ve always loved hot spicy food, and buffalo chicken has always been a FAVORITE flavor of mine! And of course now there are s many different variations, not just fried wings drenched in buffalo sauce! I love every variation. So when we decided to have a fun game day food blogger get together I had to make one buffalo chicken recipe.
This recipe is not only delicious, but EASY! The shredded chicken starts in the pressure cooker or slow cooker, so it doesn’t take a ton of effort to make this dish. Even easier? Use a hand mixer to shred the chicken! This shredded chicken can be used in quite a few various ways, I’ll share more variations later. This one is easy to serve, easy to personalize and popular
