Equipment

  • slow cooker
  • wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 16 ounces cream cheese (cubed)
  • 1 cup ranch dressing (prepared)
  • 1 cup Frank's RedHot Wings Hot Sauce (buffalo wing sauce)
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, divided (shredded)

Garnish

  • chopped green onions, blue cheese crumbles (optional)

Dippers

  • celery sticks, tortilla chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Add shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch dressing, Franks RedHot Wings hot sauce and 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese to a slow cooker. Mix well.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours (or on HIGH for 1 hour), stirring frequently until mixture is melted.
  • Sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese on top (½ cup).
  • Garnish mixture with blue cheese crumbles and green onions. Serve directly from the slow cooker with celery sticks, or transfer dip to a serving dish. If serving from the slow cooker, keep it on WARM throughout your party.
    Step by step guide on how to make crockpot buffalo chicken dip.

Notes

  • Soften the cream cheese completely for the smoothest texture.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melt.
  • Keep the mixture on warm during the party so it stays creamy.
  • If the spread thickens, stir in a splash of ranch or buffalo sauce.
  • To mellow the heat add extra ranch dressing.
  • Some oil will gather around the edges. To reduce the chance of this happening, use a less fatty cheese like Monterey Jack which has a lower fat content than cheddar.
  • To avoid greasy edges stir the mixture throughout cooking.
  • Optionally, you can bake this dip in a casserole dish at 350ºF for 20 minutes until bubbly.
