This is sooooo yummy. I’m telling you. AWESOME. So I went to my friends house for dinner a month ago and she served this delicious chicken taco salad. I asked her how she made the chicken and guess what? Two ingredients: chicken and Franks Red Hot Sauce. I should have known! Her husband is obsessed with this sauce. I’ve never had it before, but after eating this, I’m a fan too. Anyway, you just put those two magical ingredients together in the crockpot and push “on”. Can it get easier than this?? Anyway, I served it for my family tonight and yet again got rave reviews (from myself included :) ) . Thank you MELODY! You rock!

This sounds so good! My husband is obsessed with Frank's too :) Next time we have taco salad I'm making it this way :)
I've never tried this sauce, but the recipe looks simple enough that even I couldn't screw it up. I'll give it a try!
This looks delicious – is it really spicy though? I want to try it but could my little ones eat it?
Oh wow–so simple and sounds sooo good! My favorite kind of recipe! I will try this while I am here at Moms!
oh wow this looks tasty and easy! I have never seen Frank's sauce… I hope I can find it!
We LOVE ♥ LOVE this sauce!!!! We use it on everything, and the best part you can buy it at Wal-Mart in the BULK section for CHEAP!!
We love this sauce too! Although I have never tried it like this. I am dieting and it adds amazing zip to soups and salads. It has such a nice flavor! I think we will be having this tonight!!
Hi Tarryn, this is not too spicy. Some of the outside pieces of chicken may have a little zip to them, but my kids were fine with it. Most of the chicken was mild. I would not consider this spicy. Let me know what you think!
Looks like a tasty salad. I was lucky enough to find out about your blog via my dentist. Can't wait to try some of your recipes!
This looks great! We may be having this before the end of the week. :)
Thanks for sharing.
I love all things spicy with a little heat and this dish looks great.
Now my mouth is watering…yum!
This looks great Erin. Have a Happy 4th of July.
Melanie made this chicken at Mom's tonight and I snitched some when I came over later. SO GOOD! I have to buy this sauce. I am not really a big fan of tabasco, so this might be my new hot sauce. I already have it on my shopping list. :)
I'm 5 months pregnant and have been craving anything with this sauce on it latey (and craving a way to use the crockpot more since its so dang hot here in AZ!)
thanks for the great idea!
We made this today, and it was great! We cooked some Costco fresh tortillas and rolled up some of this chicken with diced tomatoes, avocado, sweet onions, lettuce and cheese. It was FABULOUS! Thanks.
We love franks–will try this for sure!
This sounds great – question: I was under the impression when cooking in a crockpot the meat had to be submerged under liquid – for you experienced crock potters – this isn't true is it?
Hey Livinia Redlips~ You are right, that is not true. When using a crockpot the liquid recirculates and isn't lost as readily, so you definitely do not need to have the meat submerged in liquid. You don't need a lot of liquids for crockpot meals. Hope this helps! :)
I have made this at least 5 times by now and I LOVE this recipe!!!! I think my kids think the chicken is a little spicy, but my husband and I agree that it is SO YUMMY!!! Very easy too which is always a huge plus!
Champion Family, I'm so glad you have enjoyed this recipe!!
