Instructions

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4.
When the cooking time is up, uncover and shred the chicken using forks or the paddle attachment of a stand mixer.
Taste and adjust the seasonings as necessary.

Notes

Storage

Leftover chicken can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Once the sliders are put together, they are best served immediately. (If you make them too far ahead of time, your bottom bun will get soggy.)

You can freeze the cooked chicken. Let it cool completely, and then store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

Reheat your buffalo chicken in the microwave, oven, or on the stovetop.
