Description

This Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip is a creamy, cheesy, and tangy appetizer perfect for game day parties or holiday gatherings. Made with just five simple ingredients, including shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, and mozzarella cheese, it’s effortlessly prepared in a slow cooker for a warm and bubbly dip that pairs perfectly with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 16 ounces cream cheese (2 bricks)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (adjust to taste for spice level)
  • 2/3 cup ranch dressing (can substitute bleu cheese dressing if preferred)
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1.5-2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie or canned works well)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a slow cooker, combine the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, and shredded chicken. Stir everything together until it is well mixed.
  2. Cook the Dip: Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook the mixture for 1 hour, or until it becomes bubbly and the cheese is melted throughout.
  3. Optional Broil: For an extra cheesy, golden top, sprinkle additional mozzarella cheese on the dip and place it under the oven broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  4. Serve Warm: Switch the slow cooker to the warm setting to keep the dip at the perfect serving temperature. Serve hot with tortilla chips and/or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • This recipe has only five ingredients making it incredibly simple and quick to prepare.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo wing sauce to control the spice level according to your preference.
  • You can substitute ranch dressing with bleu cheese dressing if you prefer a tangier flavor.
  • Shredded rotisserie chicken offers great convenience but canned chicken is also a good alternative.
  • Broiling the dip after slow cooking enhances flavor and creates a delicious crust on top but is optional.
