This rebooted Slow Cooker Buffalo Pulled Chicken Sandwich delivers bigger flavor and better texture than the original. The chicken gets a full packet of ranch seasoning plus an extra hour of slow-cooking with butter for maximum tenderness. The homemade Creole Blue Cheese Ranch Coleslaw adds creamy tang, a touch of heat, and savory blue cheese to balance the buffalo kick. Serve it with duck-fat air-fried skinny fries for the ultimate comfort-food upgrade.
