Slow Cooker Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwiches
You can make shredded Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwiches in the slow cooker! These are spicy but have a hint of sweetness. Great topped with ranch dressing and pickles.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 4 Tbsp. Tabasco hot sauce
For Servings
- hamburger buns
- ranch dressing
- pickles slices
- diced onion optional
Instructions
- Add the chicken, brown sugar, seasonings and tabasco to the slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 7 hours.
- Shred the chicken with 2 forks right in the slow cooker.
- Serve the shredded chicken and sauce on toasted buns with desired toppings.
Notes
- No other liquid is needed for this recipe, the chicken will create juices and blend in with the tabasco and seasonings.
- These are very spicy, if you can't handle heat, you could use MILD buffalo wing sauce, that would cut down on the heat substantially.
- Other serving ideas are to use biscuits or Hawaiian rolls. Coleslaw is also a great topping.
- Nutritional values do not include buns or toppings.
- Other hot sauces that work well in this recipe are Frank's Hot Sauce, Cholula, or Tapatio. I do not recommend Sriracha or Crystal hot sauce.
- Boneless skinless chicken thighs can be used, but use caution when shredding, for they can shred too much and make for a soggy sandwich.
- A whole diced white onion can be added to the pot for more flavor.
