Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 (10-ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained
  • ¾ cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese

For Serving (Optional)

  • 1 bunch celery, cut into 4-inch pieces
  • 1 (8-ounce) box chicken-flavored crackers

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all the required ingredients to ensure easy access and smooth cooking process.
  2. Heat Chicken and Hot Sauce: Place the canned chicken and hot pepper sauce in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture is heated through.
  3. Add Cream Cheese and Ranch Dressing: Stir in the softened cream cheese and ranch dressing into the skillet mixture. Continue cooking and stirring until everything is well blended and warm, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Mix in Cheddar Cheese: Add half of the shredded Cheddar cheese to the chicken mixture and stir well to combine.
  5. Transfer to Slow Cooker: Spoon the mixture into a slow cooker. Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Cook Until Hot and Bubbly: Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for about 35 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Serve the Buffalo chicken dip warm with celery sticks and chicken-flavored crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute about 3 cups of cooked chicken breast, finely chopped or shredded, instead of canned chicken for a fresher texture.
  • For a smoother dip, shred the chicken finely.
  • Adjust hot pepper sauce quantity according to your preferred spice level.
  • Keep the dip warm in the slow cooker during the party for easy serving.
