How to Make Buffalo Chicken Legs in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

We love Buffalo flavored dishes around here. Chicken wings, chicken legs, chicken breasts, nachos, potatoes skins, sandwiches…you name it, we are happy to try it with some Buffalo flavoring. (If you are someone who loves Buffalo flavored recipes, you can find all of our Buffalo recipes here.) I was actually surprised when I figured out that we do not have a Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Leg recipe on here. I knew I needed to put this delicious recipe up for all those would love it just as much as we do!

One great thing about this recipe is how easy it is to throw together. There isn’t a ton of prep work. You just have to melt your butter (I melted my butter in a large microwave safe measuring cup.) and stir in your hot sauce and beer before pouring it over your chicken legs. It is so simple to throw together. I just love recipes like that. There is a short broiling time at the end. While it is an extra step, it takes the chicken legs to the next level. You will want to do it if at all possible!

Ingredients

  • 12 bone-in chicken legs
  • 1 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup Frank's Hot Sauce
  • 1 cup beer
  • 3/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce divided

Instructions

  • Place your chicken legs in a 6 quart crock pot.
  • In a large bowl or measuring cup, stir together your melted butter (I melted mine in my microwave safe measuring cup.), hot sauce and beer until completely combined.
  • Pour the mixture over your chicken legs.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or high for 4-4.5 hours, checking with a meat thermometer to know when they reach 165 degrees Farhenheit.
  • About 15 minutes before your legs are done, preheat your broiler on high and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Once your chicken legs are done, use tongs to remove them from the crock pot and place them on the lined baking sheet.
  • Use a basting brush to brush 1/4 cup Buffalo Wing Sauce on the top side of the chicken legs.
  • Broil for 5-7 minutes, watching it continually so you don't burn them, until the sauce has reached caramelization.
  • Remove the cookie sheet from oven, use tongs to flip the chicken legs, baste the second side of the chicken legs with 1/4 cup Buffalo Wing Sauce and place back in the oven to broil for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the sauce has reached desired caramelization. (Again, do NOT walk away, watch them closely in case your broiler cooks faster than mine.)
  • Once the chicken legs have reached the desired crispiness, remove from oven and baste with the last 1/4 cup of Buffalo Wing Sauce.
