Asian Zing Chicken Noodles

If you like your comfort food with heat, this one’s going to make you very, very happy.

This dish is all about easy flavor: boneless chicken thighs simmer in a slow cooker with a sweet-hot chili, soy, and ginger-style “Asian Zing” sauce. After a few hours, the chicken falls apart, and you toss it with fresh lo mein noodles that cook in just minutes. It’s saucy, spicy, and super satisfying — with basically no work.

⏱ Timing

• Prep: ~5 minutes
• Cook: ~3 hours 5 minutes
• Total: ~3 hours 10 minutes
• Serves: 6–8

🥘 What You’ll Need

• 1 (12 oz) bottle Buffalo Wild Wings® Asian Zing Sauce
• 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 (16 oz) package fresh lo mein noodles
• 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced (for topping)

🔥 How to Make It

1. Put the chicken thighs in your slow cooker. Pour the Asian Zing sauce over the top, cover, and cook on LOW for about 3 hours, until the chicken is super tender.
2. Shred the chicken right in the pot using two forks. You want larger, juicy pieces — not super fine shreds.
3. Meanwhile, boil a big pot of salted water. Add the fresh lo mein and cook just until they’re done but still a little springy — usually anywhere from 40 seconds to 3 minutes, depending on the brand. Drain.
4. Add the cooked noodles to the slow cooker with the shredded chicken and sauce. Toss everything together so the noodles get coated.
5. Serve hot, topped with sliced green onion.

🌶 Why it works

• Chicken thighs = juicy, hard to overcook
• Slow cooker = hands-off flavor
• The sauce brings sweet/garlicky/gingery heat so you don’t have to measure 10 ingredients
• Fresh noodles finish the dish in minutes

Optional extras you could add at the end: toasted sesame seeds, steamed broccoli, sautéed bell peppers, or a drizzle of chili crisp if you’re chaos-friendly 🌶🍜
