My kids love buffalo wings, and this Keto Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken gives us all the flavor with minimal effort and mess. I often make this recipe on the weekends, doubling it so that I have it on hand for easy meals during the week. You will love how easy this is to throw together in your Crock Pot or Instant Pot.
If you haven't noticed by now, I am all about Buffalo Wing Flavor.
I adore this Keto Buffalo Chicken, and one of my all-time favorite sides are these Keto Cauliflower Wings. It is the star of one of my favorite chicken casseroles, and also great in a dip.
It shouldn't come as a surprise to you then, that I have found a way to work Buffalo sauce into my weekly meal prep.
This Keto Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken is the perfect dump meal. Just throw everything in and turn on your slow cooker. Come back later to buttery, juicy, and tender chicken.
There are so many ways to serve this that it NEVER gets old. Buffalo Wings are great, but this is perfect to use in other recipes, or for those times when I don't feel like getting my fingers messy.
Serving Suggestions
- This is fabulous stuffed in avocado and topped with Keto Ranch Dressing, tomato, blue cheese crumbles, and cilantro.
- It is also great over cauliflower rice with the above-mentioned accompaniments.
- If you have keto wraps or bread, make a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich! I like to add shredded lettuce and chopped celery and tomatoes.
- Serve over Keto Cauliflower Mash; omit the goat cheese and use blue cheese instead.
