Description

This Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip is a creamy, spicy, and cheesy party favorite made with just five simple ingredients. Perfect for game days or get-togethers, this dip is easy to prepare by combining shredded cooked chicken, cream cheese, ranch dressing, Frank's Red Hot Wing Sauce, and cheddar cheese in a slow cooker. The slow cooking melds the flavors beautifully, and the dip can be served directly from the crock pot, making it convenient and crowd-pleasing.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • ¾ cup Frank’s Red Hot Wing sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the shredded cooked chicken, cubed cream cheese, ranch dressing, Frank’s Red Hot Wing sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese into the slow cooker.
  2. Heat the Dip: Set the slow cooker to high and heat the mixture for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to help everything melt and blend together smoothly.
  3. Maintain Warmth: Once fully melted and combined, turn the slow cooker to low or the warm setting to keep the dip at the perfect serving temperature while enjoying.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked chicken for convenience, such as rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken breast.
  • Stir every 15-20 minutes during cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even heating.
  • Serve this dip with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers for a delicious appetizer.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your preferred spice level.
  • To make ahead, combine all ingredients in the slow cooker insert and refrigerate overnight; cook the next day as directed.
