A creamy, easy-to-make buffalo chicken dip cooked in a crockpot with just 5 simple ingredients. Perfect for game days and casual get-togethers, this dip balances spicy buffalo sauce with smooth cream cheese and tangy ranch dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 450g, rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225g)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (120ml, e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (120ml)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (100g)
  • Optional: chopped green onions for topping
  • Optional: blue cheese crumbles for topping

Instructions

  1. Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces, about 3 cups (450g).
  2. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit out for 15-20 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until mostly smooth.
  4. Fold the shredded chicken into the cream cheese mixture until well coated.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the crockpot and spread evenly. Cover with the lid.
  6. Set the crockpot to low and cook for 2 to 3 hours, stirring every 30-45 minutes to keep the dip creamy and prevent sticking.
  7. Optional: For a bubbly, browned top, transfer the dip to an oven-safe dish and broil for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions or blue cheese crumbles if desired. Pair with celery sticks, tortilla chips, or crusty bread.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Stir dip every 30-45 minutes during cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even melting. Use low heat to avoid separation. If dip is too thick after cooking, stir in a splash of milk or extra ranch dressing. Optional broiling adds a crispy top. Can be made in oven if no crockpot is available.
