Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs. cooked chicken shredded, about 5 cups
- ¾ cup buffalo wing sauce not hot sauce
- 8 oz. cream cheese cubed
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded or cubed
- green onions optional
- Blue cheese crumbles optional
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Crockpot: Pour the wing sauce along the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Add in the shredded chicken, cubed cream cheese, ranch dressing, and cheese.
- Cook the Dip: Set the slow cooker to high and cook for 1-2 hours, or low and cook for 3-4 hours. After about 30 minutes the cheeses should begin to melt. Give the ingredients a good stir and keep cooking until everything is heated through.
- Serve the dip with a sprinkle of green onions and blue cheese crumbles, if desired. Enjoy the dip with tortilla chips and crackers or veggies such as celery sticks and carrots if on a low-carb diet!

Notes
- Prep-Ahead Instructions:
- Cook and shred the chicken in advance.
- Storage Directions:
- Keep leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. To freeze, seal slow cooker buffalo chicken dip in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 3 months. To reheat, return the thawed dip to a slow cooker, or quickly warm it in the microwave.
- Recipe Tips
- Make it from scratch. Homemade buffalo wing sauce tastes better and is healthier because it doesn't have the added preservatives.
- Save some time. Rotisserie chicken is an easy option and has more flavor than canned chicken.
- Pour it in. Start with the sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker so the other ingredients don't burn.
- Cube it up. Smaller pieces of cream cheese will melt more quickly and evenly.
- The sharper, the better. Sharp cheddar cheese will give the dip the most flavor.
