    Buffalo Chicken Dip

    Looking for the perfect dip to bring to a fun summer BBQ? Look no further! This buffalo dip recipe is a crowd please and SO easy to make! I brought it to a church Father's day brunch years ago and it was a huge hit with the dads, and also the ladies helping with the brunch who were all sampling it, haha. I've made it both in the slow cooker and in the oven and prefer the oven method because you get the golden cheesy top, but both methods are delicious! What I love about this dip is that it's full of flavor, but not full of heat.  The cheeses and ranch dressing cool down the dip, but the buffalo chicken wings flavor still shines through.

    Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients

    (scroll to the end of the post for a printable version)
    • 1 (8 oz.) package of cream cheese (original or light)
    • 2 (5 oz.) cans of chicken (drained)*
    • ½ cup ranch dressing
    • ½ cup Frank's RedHot Sauce
    • ¾ cup shredded Colby jack cheese (divided)
    • sliced green onions

    *You can use any kind of cooked chicken that you'd like. Canned chicken is EASY and tastes delicious in this dip. You can also use shredded chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken.

    How To Make Buffalo Chicken Dip

    1. Combine ingredients in a large bowl, reserving ¼ cup of the shredded cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy. Spread dip into an 8"x8" baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese. Drizzle with extra Frank's RedHot sauce, if desired.  Note: If you like blue cheese you can add some crumbles on the top before baking.
    2. Bake buffalo chicken dip at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions and serve with pretzels, pita chips, or baguette slices.
    Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

    Slow Cooker/Crock-Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip

    This recipe works best in a small slow cooker. If you have a larger cooker (5-6 quarts) I'd recommend doubling the recipe. Slow cookers work best when filled at least halfway.
    Heat chicken and hot sauce in a skillet over medium heat, until heated through. Stir in cream cheese and ranch dressing. Cook, stirring until well blended and warm. Mix in half of the shredded cheese, and transfer the mixture to a slow cooker. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, cover, and cook on LOW setting until hot and bubbly.
