Description

Ingredients

• 2lb/1kg chicken breast, boneless skinless (3 large or 4 small)
• 4 tbsp butter
• ¾ cup hot sauce of choice (Note 2)
• ¼ cup + 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 3 tbsp tomato ketchup (or Australian tomato sauce)
• ½ tsp garlic powder (or onion powder)
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp dried thyme (or 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves)
• 1 tsp salt
• Black pepper
• 1½ tbsp cornstarch / corn flour
• 7 rolls
• Lettuce of choice (optional)
• Blue Cheese Sauce (optional - see recipe below)
• ½ cup crumbled blue cheese, softened (I use gorgonzola)
• ¼ cup sour cream (I usually use low fat)
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 1 small garlic clove, minced
• 2 - 4 tbsp milk
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• ½ tsp salt
• Black pepper

Directions

• Place chicken in one layer in slow cooker and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt and pepper. Add remaining Buffalo Chicken ingredients, mostly around the chicken rather than on top. Cook on LOW for 4 hours. (Note 2)
• Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred roughly with too forks.
• Toss in Sauce and keep warm.
• Mix cornstarch with 2 tbsp water and add to Sauce (after chicken is removed). Simmer on sauté setting in slow cooker for 5 minutes, or until thickened to a syrup consistency (or transfer to saucepan and do this over medium heat).
• Adjust salt & spiciness to taste per Note 1.
• Split rolls in half and toast (if desired). Butter (if desired), then place lettuce on bottom half and top with chicken. Serve warm, with Blue Cheese Sauce if youre a fan of blue cheese!
• Place blue cheese and sour cream in a bowl and mush with a fork, to taste. I like mine a bit chunky.
• Add remaining ingredients, using milk to adjust the consistency to your taste. I like it thick so it doesnt run everywhere.
