Buffalo Chicken Dip Slow Cooker Ingredients:

• CHICKEN – Read below for some ideas as to the best/easiest way to get shredded cooked chicken in this dish. You can also substitute for boneless skinless chicken thighs. 
• BUFFALO SAUCE – Use an Buffalo Sauce you’d like. Make it as spicy (or not spicy) as you prefer!
• CREAM CHEESE – We cube it up so it melts a little better. You can also use flavored Cream Cheese, like this Jalapeno Cream Cheese or this Garlic Herb Cream Cheese. 
• DRY RANCH SEASONING – Any brand will do. 
• SALT AND BLACK PEPPER – To taste. 

What To Dip In Buffalo Chicken Dip?

You can dip just about anything into this recipe. Some ideas would be:

What Is The Best Chicken To Use For Buffalo Dip

So, you are going to need cooked, shredded chicken for this recipe. You basically have 3 ways to get this.

1. MAKE YOUR OWN SHREDDED CHICKEN– You can boil, use an Instant Pot, or even poach your boneless skinless chicken breast to make your own shredded chicken.
2. BUY A ROTISSERIE CHICKEN– We love to do this, it makes things so easy and the rotisserie chicken is always so tender and moist.
3. USE CANNED CHICKEN– This is a VERY easy and INEXPENSIVE option. Some people really don’t like canned chicken. But it’s never bothered me. We are all about shortcuts here!

Can You Bake Buffalo Chicken Dip?

Yep! You don’t need to use your Slow Cooker for this recipe. You can also combine all of the ingredients into a 2 quart baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 for 20-25 minutes.

Notes, Tips and FAQs

• EXTRA CHEESE– I’ve read that some people put an extra layer of shredded cheddar cheese on at the end, right before serving. We didn’t do that for this recipe, but you can bet we’ll do it next time!
• ROOM TEMPERATURE CREAM  CHEESE– Let yoru Cream Cheese get to room temperature, this will make it much easier to mix in and get creamy.
• USE BUFFALO WIN SAUCE– Make sure you are using buffalo wing sauce, not “hot sauce”. The difference is that wing/buffalo sauce is usually cut with butter, making it a lot less hot and great for cooking!
• CAN YOU DOUBLE THIS RECIPE?- Yep! Just use twice the ingredients and make sure  you are using a large enough Crockpot. You may also need to extend the cooking times.
• HOW TO MAKE THIS HEALTHIER?– First of all, you can use a homemade buffalo sauce, which may be “more natural” than any store bought. Otherwise, you’re best bet to cut calories is to substitute for low fat cream cheese. Please note that people have said using low fat cream cheese can make your dip a little more runny.
• STORAGE- Keep your Buffalo Chicken Dip in an Airtight Container in your fridge for 3-5 days. I would not freeze this recipe.
• ADD GREEN ONIONS – Add green onions before serving for some extra color and flavor.
