Four-Ingredient Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

Buffalo chicken belongs on a soft roll, where the sauce can soak in without running down your wrist. Butter rounds off the bottled sauce while thighs stay juicy enough to shred. This is hot but not punishing; choose the sauce level you actually enjoy.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter cubed
  • 8 soft sandwich rolls

Method
 

  1. Arrange the chicken thighs in a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Pour the buffalo sauce over the chicken and scatter the butter cubes across the top.
  3. Cover and cook on low until the chicken reaches 175°F and pulls apart easily, 4 1/2 to 5 hours.
  4. Transfer the chicken to a board and shred it into bite-size pieces.
  5. Skim excess fat from the sauce and return the chicken to the cooker for 10 minutes.
  6. Toast the cut sides of the rolls until lightly browned and fill each with drained buffalo chicken.
