⅓ cupHot Sauce

6 ozcream cheese

Instructions

Step 1

Place the chicken at the bottom of the slow cooker, add hot sauce per pound of chicken.

Step 2

Cook on high 4 to 6 hours or low for up to 8 hours.

Step 3

20 minutes before the end of the cooking time, open the crock pot and remove most of the cooking liquid and set aside. Place the cream cheese on top of the chicken, replace the lid and cook for another 20ish minutes. The cream cheese won’t melt, but will soften enough to be mixed in.

Step 4

Add more hot sauce to the chicken as needed. Use 2 forks or a mixer to shred the chicken and blend in the cheese and sauce.

Step 5

Add some of the chicken cooking liquid back in to to chicken mixture a spoonful at a time so the buffalo chicken is super moist and juicy, but not dripping.
