Crockpot Buffalo Chicken

These grilled buffalo chicken sandwiches are smoky and saucy and topped with refreshing gorgonzola slaw and a spritz of lime!

Grilled Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

chicken breasts

smoked paprika

salt and pepper

hot sauce ((like frank’s red hot or frank’s buffalo wing))

unsalted butter

brioche buns, (for serving)

ranch or blue cheese dressing, (for serving)

chopped/shredded green

carrot,

plain greek yogurt

lime juice

olive oil, (or avocado oil oil

Preheat your grill to the highest setting.

For the chicken, I like to use thin sliced breasts because I think they are easier to eat on a sandwich. I usually buy chicken breasts and slice them in half lengthwise.

Season the chicken breasts all over with a pinch of salt, pepper and the smoked paprika and garlic powder.

Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and place the hot sauce and butter in it. Cook just until the butter melts, stirring often. You can also do this in the microwave!

You want the grill heat between 400 and 450 degrees, so reduce the heat slightly if needed. Place the chicken on the grill. Grill for 4 minutes, then flip and grill for 3 minutes more. Brush the chicken with the buffalo wing sauce. Flip, brush the other side, and grill for another minute. You can do this 1 or 2 more times, you want the internal temperature to be 165 degrees F. It may take more or less time based on the thickness of your chicken breast! You can also throw the buns on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes if you’d like.

When the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and brush it with more of the buffalo sauce.

To serve, if desired you can add a little bit of blue cheese dressing or ranch on the bottom of the bun. Top with the chicken breast (or 2, if you’re my husband), then top with the slaw. You can add an extra sprinkle of gorgonzola too! Eat immediately. Yum.

Place the shredded cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the cheese, yogurt, lime juice and olive oil. Pour it over the cabbage and toss thoroughly until everything is combined. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and toss well. The slaw will not be super creamy and saucy - it’s very much a light coating.

If you love buffalo chicken, you will love these Crispy Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches! They are made in the air fryer, coated in spicy buffalo sauce and are the perfect crowd-pleasing recipe.

Crispy Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

chicken thighs

all-purpose flour

onion powder

paprika

salt and black pepper

eggs (whisked)

panko breadcrumbs

buffalo sauce

brioche

tomato (sliced)

green leaf lettuce

Preheat air fryer or oven to 375 degrees F.

Set up an assembly line: combine flour in a medium-sized bowl with the spices and mix to combine. Whisk eggs in a separate bowl and add breadcrumbs to their own medium-sized bowl.

Dip a piece of chicken in the flour mixture until it is coated on all sides, then dip the chicken in the egg bowl, again coating on all sides. Finally, dip the piece of chicken in the breadcrumbs and press down until it is fully coated. Transfer to a plate, then repeat the process with the remaining pieces of chicken.

Add chicken to air fryer basket and spray lightly with cooking oil. Cook for 15 minutes, flip the chicken and cook for another 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Cooking time will depend on your individual air fryer.

Remove the chicken from the air fryer and put in a large bowl. Pour buffalo sauce on top and toss with tongs to coat the chicken.

Heat or toast the buns to your liking. Assemble the sandwiches by adding lettuce, tomato and chicken to the buns.

Serve with your favorite fries and a salad and enjoy!
