Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili

No ratings yet

Full of Buffalo Wing flavor, but healthful.

I’m never one to shy away from a little extra spice in my chili so I thought, why not create a recipe that has plenty of heat. Feel free to lessen the heat if you have family members that prefer a milder chili.

This Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili is ideal a busy weeknight. The leftovers are great, too, so be sure to make enough for the next day’s lunch or dinner.

Slow cookers are a busy woman’s best friend, especially on a lazy Sunday afternoon when all you crave are the warm smells of slow cooked soups & stews that fill your entire house with comforting aromas. This chili recipe does just that.

  1. Hi there, would love to try this recipe out but not sure what buffalo wing sauce is in Australia. Maybe a barbecue tasting sauce would be suitable? Thanks

    1. Sheri, You can either omit the celery altogether or just add more carrots as a substitute. And yes, if you'd like you can add 1 to 2 teaspoons celery salt instead.

  2. Planned to make this until I saw the sodium content, that is extremely high for 1 cup. Did you use low sodium broth?

    1. This recipe was shared by one of our contributors. We do recommend using low sodium broth, which should bring the sodium content down to 600mg.

    1. Erin, Sure, high in the slow cooker is fine or use the stove top and cook for an about 1 hour, or possibly less.

  3. This is my go to recipe when I make chili for get togethers and made it for our neighborhood chili cook off. Such a nice change from usual chili. Soooo good and even better as leftovers! Thank you!
