Ingredients Needed

Chicken – Any boneless chicken will work. Make sure it is a no-skin chicken as that will cause your dip to have a rubbery texture in spots.

Buffalo Sauce – Reach for any buffalo sauce you like. I personally enjoy Frank’s Buffalo sauce, but feel free to use any brand you want.

Cream Cheese – The cream cheese is going to add a really nice rich and creamy texture to the dip. I prefer full fat but you can use a lighter cream cheese to lighten up the dip a bit.

Ranch Dressing – This is going to help blend all the flavors together. The ranch will add some tang and tame some of the spice down a bit.

Celery – If you want a nice little crunch factor to your dip you can chop up some celery. This is of course optional.

Shredded Cheese – The cheese adds the perfect texture and tang to the dip. I love using a white cheddar or sharp cheddar.

Substitutions and Swaps

• Leave out the celery if you want in the recipe.
• Swap the ranch dressing with blue cheese.
• You can use a mild buffalo sauce if you don’t want a ton of heat.
• Use rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked shredded chicken in replace of raw.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Dip

Step One: Place chicken in a pan with buffalo sauce and cook 5-7 minutes and flip. Cook another 5 minutes then remove. Dice up or shred the chicken. It won’t fully be cooked at this point.

Step Two: Assemble cream cheese, ranch dressing and celery in a bowl. Mix well till combined.

Step Three: Place your shredded chicken and buffalo sauce in the crockpot and then pour the ranch dressing mixture over the top.

Step Four: Next, place the lid on the crockpot and place on low for 2-3 hours. You want to ensure the chicken has time to fully cook.

Step Five: Stir in the shredded cheese right before serving up this warm buffalo dip. Pair with your favorite dipping items.

Helpful Tips

• Depending on how thick or thin the chicken is will vary in how long to cook the chicken in the pan before you dice up for the dip.
• Make the chicken into smaller pieces or leave a bit bigger if you want it to have more chunky texture.
• Shred block cheese for a creamier texture. Pre-shredded cheese has extra starches and can alter the texture of the dip.
• Use a crockpot liner to help with an easier cleanup.

How long does buffalo chicken dip last?

For this slow cooker buffalo chicken dip you can store in the fridge in an airtight container. Store for 3-4 days, and then warm up in the microwave. Or you can place in a pan on the stove on low, or put leftovers in the slow cooker.

Notes

Chicken – You can use pre-cooked chicken if you want, just shred and place in the crockpot.

Buffalo Wing Sauce – Any brand works for this buffalo dip. You can go as hot or mild as you want.

Dressing – I prefer ranch dressing but you can use blue cheese dressing if you prefer.

Storing – Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days. Heat in the microwave, in a pan on the stove or back in the crockpot.

I recommend not freezing as it will curdle a bit from all the dairy.
