Best Way To Prepare Shredded Chicken

There are a handful of ways to cook chickens you can shred it. Crock pot shredded chicken, boiled, seared, or roasted chicken work great!

Making chicken in the crock pot is so easy, just follow this simple tutorial for crock pot shredded chicken.

I personally just boil it with a pinch of salt for about 25 minutes and shred!

What to Serve With It

I served up this delicious stuffed sweet potato with an easy salad of chopped Romain hearts, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and blue cheese with a little garlic red wine vinaigrette dressing.

Celery and extra blue cheese or ranch is also a great side dish to this zesty dinner.

After our dinner guests, we did not have any leftovers! My favorite buffalo sauce to use is Franks Hot Sauce but feel free to use any sauce you like!

Best Buffalo Sauce

There are so many buffalo sauce brands to choose from but my absolute favorite is Frank's Red Hot. It's the perfect amount of spicy and tangy.

I have also been known to use Chick-Fil-A buffalo sauce if I have enough of them on hand.

I know Buffalo Wild Wings has a delicious buffalo sauce that I think would pair nicely as well.
