Okay, so this recipe I am sharing even though Peter and I were disappointed. We're hoping to get suggestions from others as to how to improve. We're not sure if the chicken was too dry or the bread was too overwhelming, or if we were just missing something.
This is what we did:
4 chicken breasts
1 jar of your favorite hot wing sauce (we used Franks)
Cook in crockpot for 4 hours on high. Take off lid and shred chicken. Continue to cook for another 2 hours on low. The chicken will soak up the very watery crockpot.
We put the chicken on Turino rolls (used for Italian Beef) and put some blue cheese dressing on the bread, and had extra in a bowl to dip the sammie in. You can also use ranch if you are not a fan of blue cheese. We had our sandwiches with fries.
So--any suggestions on how to improve this meal? I'm really wanting to like it, and love buffalo chicken...there was just something missing here.
im thinking too much bread...how was the sauce? spicy? you might need a stronger sauce
ReplyDeleteWe were thinking it was the bread too. Just too much, very dry, etc. THe sauce was good. Spicy and pretty strong.
ReplyDeleteDid you put the bread in the oven to crisp up? The outside will get all crispy while the inside gets all warm and soft. We found these rolls at their best when we do this. YUM
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. I'll definitely try that next time. I'll also try to not cook it so long that all the juices are soaked up. Hopefully both will help. Thanks.
