Ingredients
Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients
- 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- ¾ cup Frank’s Red Hot Wing sauce (wing sauce, not regular hot sauce)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Place the shredded cooked chicken, cream cheese cubes, ranch dressing, Frank’s Red Hot Wing sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese into the slow cooker.
- Cook the dip: Heat the mixture on the high setting for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to help the cream cheese melt evenly and to blend all the flavors together.
- Keep warm and serve: Once melted and thoroughly heated, turn the slow cooker to low or warm setting to maintain temperature while serving. Stir as needed during serving to keep the dip smooth and creamy.
Notes
- Use fully cooked chicken such as rotisserie or leftover baked chicken for convenience.
- Make sure to use Frank’s Red Hot Wing sauce, which has a balanced flavor ideal for buffalo-style dishes.
- Feel free to add extra shredded cheese on top before serving for added cheesiness.
- This dip pairs well with celery sticks, tortilla chips, or crackers for dipping.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
