I make a fantastic buffalo chicken dip, but you can skip the baking dish and bust out the crockpot for this recipe. Most people make this recipe with the same basic ingredients - cooked chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ranch or blue cheese dressing, buffalo sauce. I bring mine to a new level of flavor with a few additions that make it so much better, and perfect for the spicy food lover.
Cooked Chicken - Easily cook your own, or use rotisserie chicken, or leftover chicken from a different recipe. Cream Cheese - Plain cream cheese with the full fat content will yield the thickest, creamiest results. Cheddar Cheese - Freshly grated cheese creates the best flavor and consistency if you have just a few extra minutes to spare. Blue Cheese Dressing Buffalo Sauce - Use your favorite store bought brand, like Frank’s, or try my homemade Buffalo Sauce recipe. So good! I like to add in extra, at least another 1/2 cup or more, for extra Buffalo flavor! So good!
Roasted Jalapeño Pepper - Or just cook one up in a hot pan. Or, use a jar of chopped green chilies. Seasonings - I love to use my homemade Cajun seasonings blend or my homemade tacos seasonings, depending on my mood. Use your favorite blend, though. I’d love to hear your secret go-to! Garlic Powder - I like it extra garlicky. Salt and Pepper - To taste! Hot Sauce - Yes! Don’t forget the hot sauce! Use your favorite. I’m sure you can REALLY spice it up, you crazy chilihead. FOR SERVING - Crumbled blue cheese, chopped green onion, spicy chili flakes, tortilla chips or celery sticks.
Slow cook the buffalo chicken dip. Cover and slow cook for 1 hour on high or 2-3 hours on low, stirring every 30 minutes.
Boom! Done! Your Crockpot buffalo chicken dip is ready to serve. Somebody pass me the chips, please! I’m so ready to dig into this right now. Look at all that wonderful cheese. In the microwave, you’ll want to zap it for just 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time it stops, until warmed all the way through. Or, you can toss it all back in the slow cooker on low until warmed through, stirring once in a while.
