Slow Cooker Shredded Buffalo Chicken

Somewhere along the line R developed a huge taste for Buffalo Chicken.  Buffalo Chicken Dip (despite the fact that he doesn't love cheese) is a huge favorite, as are Buffalo Wings or Buffalo Chicken Pizza.

This recipe is an easy way to make lots of Buffalo Chicken and then use it however you wish.  Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches, Dip, Salad, Pizza, or just a big ole' plate of chicken with your favorite sides.

I even use leftovers for R's lunch; I heat some up and pack it in his lunchbox thermos.  That's a winning lunch in his book!
