Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce, divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup honey
12 Hawaiian sweet rolls, warmed
Optional ingredients: Lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, thinly sliced red onion and crumbled blue cheese

Place chicken in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Toss with 2 tablespoons hot sauce and pepper; cook, covered, on low 3-4 hours or until tender.
Remove chicken; discard cooking juices. In a small saucepan, combine butter, honey and remaining hot sauce; cook and stir over medium heat until blended. Shred chicken with 2 forks; stir into sauce and heat through. Serve on rolls with desired optional ingredients.
Freeze option: Freeze cooled chicken mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Microwave, covered, on high in a microwave-safe dish until heated through, stirring occasionally; add water or broth if necessary.
