BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP RECIPE

This buffalo chicken dip recipe was actually my very first slow cooker experience. Growing up, my mom never used one, so I never used one. But now, I love using mine.

This easy crockpot buffalo chicken dip recipe gets rave reviews every time I bring it to a party and I’m always asked for the recipe – some even refer to it as “crack dip” because it’s addictive. Luckily I have this lil blog to point people to 😉

SLOW COOKER BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP INGREDIENTS

There are only five, everyday ingredients in this recipe which makes it super easy.

Cooked & Shredded Chicken – I like to season then boil boneless, skinless chicken breasts when I make this recipe. You could also shred up a rotisserie chicken. Or, I suppose you could use canned chicken, but please don’t. It grosses me out haha
Cream Cheese – Cube up a brick of cream cheese.
Ranch Dressing – Hidden Valley is the brand I usually have on hand. Use your favorite.
Frank’s Wing Sauce – Make sure you grab wing sauce and not regular hot sauce.
Cheddar Cheese – Shredded cheddar cheese, whether you shred it yourself or buy a bag of pre-shredded. I usually use Mild Cheddar.

HOW TO MAKE BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

First, if you need to cook your chicken, I like to season with salt & pepper & seasoned salt then boil it in either water or chicken broth for 10 minutes at a rapid boil. Then remove and shred, either with forks, or throw it into your stand mixer with the paddle attachment to make things really easy.

If you have pre-cooked chicken, just shred it up.

Then, add all ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on high for about an hour, stirring after 30 minutes.

Turn the heat to low or warm while serving.

That’s it! So easy.

TIPS & TRICKS

Use a rotisserie chicken if you don’t feel like making your own.
Start with room temperature cream cheese to get it to melt more evenly.
Make sure you get Frank’s WING sauce and not regular hot sauce. Wing sauce is basically hot sauce thinned out with butter to make it less intense.
Serve this dip with tortilla chips or celery sticks. Or, I’ve even had friends pile it onto pita bread & eat it as a sandwich.
