Equipment

  • crockpot
  • small sauce pan
  • Measuring cup
  • measuring spoons
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 5 ounces Cayenne hot sauce I used Fred's
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1.5 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • cayenne pepper if it's not hot enough for you

Instructions
 

  • In your crockpot - allow chicken breasts to cook until tender: low for four hours or high for up to six if needed. Shred chicken and set aside while you prepare the sauce.
  • Melt butter in a small sauce pan with other ingredients. Allow the sauce to come just up to a simmer, whisk to blend well, remove from heat and set aside. Recipe can be doubled our tripled to cover the amount of chicken you have prepared. One batch could easily cover two chicken breasts and make four sandwiches depending on how thick you stack the chicken.
  • Mix sauce into shredded chicken
  • Build your grilled cheese sandwich by putting chicken on the bread, topped with sharp cheddar cheese, smooth each outside piece of bread with butter and grill in a nonstick skillet like you would any other grilled cheese sandwhich.
  • Dip sandwich in ranch dressing or additional sauce if desired.
