Why This Recipe Works

• This recipe works by combining the best of both worlds: the convenience of a crockpot and the rich flavors of buffalo sauce. By cooking the chicken in a mixture of hot sauce and cream cheese, we get a creamy and spicy dip that’s easy to make and customize.
• The use of ranch seasoning in the cream cheese mixture adds a savory and slightly sweet flavor that complements the heat of the buffalo sauce.
• The addition of chopped green onions provides a fresh and crunchy texture that pairs well with the smooth dip.

Key Ingredients

When it comes to this Buffalo Dip Crockpot recipe, the quality of the ingredients makes all the difference. Here are our top picks for brands and types:

For shredded chicken, we recommend using a combination of dark meat and skinless boneless chicken breasts. If you prefer to use pre-cooked chicken, be sure to choose a low-sodium option to avoid adding too much salt to the dip. Cream cheese is a staple in our kitchen, and we swear by the full-fat version for its rich and creamy texture. When it comes to hot sauce, Frank’s RedHot is a classic choice that adds a deep and spicy flavor.
