Tips Tricks and FAQs
- If you cannot find BBW sauce, you can use any Parmesan garlic sauce you can find at the store.
- If you are looking for a healthier low-carb alternative, you can omit the pasta and choose rice or serve it alone with a salad on the side.
- Cream cheese acts as a thickener, but you can use heavy whipping cream if you prefer. This will create a thinner sauce.
- You can easily add vegetables to this dish to give it more flavor and color.
Storage
It is best to enjoy this dish within 3 days. Store it in the fridge in an airtight container.
Can you put frozen chicken in a slow cooker?
No. Your frozen chicken will take a long time to cook in the slow cooker, and may spend too long in the “danger zone” temperature where bacteria can grow. Your safest choice is to thaw it first.
Can I Freeze Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Chicken?
Yes! You can freeze this! First, you will want to pull out the desired amount of chicken that you want to freeze and set it aside to cool. Once cooled, place it in a freezer bag and then place it in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Where Can I Buy Buffalo Wild Wing Garlic Parmesan Sauce From?
You can buy Buffalo Wild Wing Garlic Parmesan Sauce from most supermarkets. My local Acme has carried it for quite some time now. Aldi is now carrying it in stock, this may be seasonal but I have seen it on numerous occasions in my local Aldi. Of course, you can also purchase it from Amazon.
When you are ready to enjoy it, place it in the fridge overnight and warm it back up. Add your cooked pasta and serve.
You do not want to freeze the cooked noodles as it will change the texture of the dish.

Can frozen chicken be used?
It is advised against using frozen chicken in a crockpot. You should defrost it first.
@Yvonne, Absolutely! You can use frozen chicken you just have to cook it longer and check it with a meat thermometer to make sure it reaches 165*
Can the chicken be frozen or does it need to be thawed?
It should be thawed for best results
Family of 7, including teens and young adults…is a double recipe a good amount?
You may even want to just do 1 1/2 the recipe. I think that would be plenty of food. I feed 6 here and really had plenty with the recipe as is. Enjoy!
Has anyone added broccoli to this recipe before? It sounds good, but not sure when I should put it in.
@Christin, Yes! I put frozen broccoli that I cooked in the bag in her microwave & added it at the end.
@Christin, has anyone replied regarding adding broccoli? I’m making this today & want to add broccoli.
I didn’t completely read ingredients and bought grated parmesan instead of shredded. Will that work? Can I use shredded mozzarella instead?
Grated parmesan will work and or the shredded mozzarella 🙂
I measured the milk and poured it in the bottle and shook it up to get all the sauce out.
Perfect idea!!
@Sharon,. Smart thanks I’ll do this too.
I omitted the cream cheese because we do not like it. Did not use whipped cream either, but will do it in the future. It is a good pasta dish on its own. Lots of “after burner spicy” favor. LOL
I am attempting this recipe as i type this, but realized i only have the grated style of parmesan cheese, not shredded.
Can i make it without the cheese, make it with the grated style, or can the shredded wait until i can get to the store and stir it in later?
Yes, that will work great too 🙂
Curious to know if using chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts would be ok too?
sure that would work great too 🙂
So I’m wondering if anyone has been able to adapt this recipe to an oven bake? Especially if one is using fully cooked/rotisserie chicken at the beginning? Maybe a “no boil pasta”/dump ‘n bake recipe using these same ingredients?
Would it be ok to use the grated Parmesan cheese if I don’t have any fresh Parmesan on hand?
absolutely 🙂
This was so delicious! My hubby & I loved it 🙂 how long is it good for stored in the fridge?
3-4 days I am so glad you loved it
Can this be adapted for a pressure cooker? I don’t have time for a crockpot meal this evening.
Sure can https://www.sparklestosprinkles.com/instant-pot-buffalo-wild-wings-parmesan-garlic-chicken-pasta/
