Cook's Notes:

You can substitute lettuce for tortilla wraps or potato rolls to switch things up. You will be adding calories and crabs but it does give it a nice taste!

Use iceberg lettuce in place of Boston, if preferred.

Cook on High for 4 hours, if preferred.

Super easy and a HUGE hit w/ my family! They do tend to LOVE anything 'buffalo' so I knew they were gonna love this. I did use chicken tenders so I checked them after cooking on low for about 4-1/2 hours and they were done so I put them on warm for about an hour and then shredded them...perfectly tender moist and flavorful! After shredding I did spoon a bit of the sauce over it so it would stay moist and that worked great. topped each wrap w/ some of the cooking juice (which was delicious) and a bit of shredded cheddar. This is a keeper for sure YUM YUM YUM!!!!! Thanks for sharing.:) Read More

Such a success with everyone!! Definitely a crowd pleaser. I used a buffalo wing sauce instead of tabasco (Frank's wing sauce). A whole bottle and a packet of ranch dressing seasoning. Also added some blue cheese crumbles in the wrap. I wrapped the lettuce and meat in tortilla wraps and cut them into thirds. YUM! Read More

This is awesome and super easy! I used Frank's Buffalo sauce and served on tortillas with blue cheese dressing lettuce tomato and Gorgonzola crumbles. I will be making this frequently from now on. Thanks for sharing! Read More

This is a keeper for us! Using a whole bottle of hot sauce I was afraid that they would be too hot to eat. They were fairly mild on heat but big on flavor. A spoon of the reserved sauce was great and and slight squirt of Sriracha on top along with Crema Mexicana (Mexican style sour cream) worked great. Read More

I have been making this recipe for many years. For those who complained about saltiness, I found 1/2 a packet of of dressing mix is enough to get the flavor and reduce some of the salty taste. I also found that boneless skinless thighs are not as dry. I usually serve this with blue cheese coleslaw. Read More
