Instructions

Spray a 5 or 6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray and prepare your ingredients.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, then place it in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add the peperoncini peppers around the chicken, pouring some jar liquid over if desired. Sprinkle the gravy mix and ranch dressing mix evenly on top.
Cut the butter into tablespoons and arrange on top of the seasoned chicken.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 2.5 to 4 hours or LOW for 6-8 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken to a cutting board, let it rest for 10 minutes, then use two forks to pull into chunks.
Stir the chicken back into the sauce to soak up flavor, then serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add an extra handful of peperoncini peppers.
The cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker model and chicken thickness.
Serve with rice or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
