A creamy, spicy, and easy-to-make buffalo chicken dip cooked in a crockpot, perfect for parties and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (full fat recommended)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Optional: chopped green onions or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. If not using pre-shredded chicken, cook boneless, skinless chicken breasts by boiling or baking until fully cooked (about 15-20 minutes). Let cool slightly and shred using two forks or a shredding tool.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  3. Fold in shredded chicken, then stir in shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese until evenly combined and thick but spreadable.
  4. Lightly grease the crockpot insert with nonstick spray or butter. Spread the mixture evenly inside.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours. Stir halfway through to redistribute heat and check consistency. Add a splash of ranch or buffalo sauce if it looks dry.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top, cover, and cook for another 10-15 minutes until melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions or chives if desired and serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, crackers, or sliced baguette.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Stir dip halfway through cooking to prevent drying or burning. Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and juiciness. Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control spice level. Do not cook on high to maintain creamy texture. Leftovers store well refrigerated up to 4 days and freeze up to 3 months.
