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

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients needed for the Buffalo Chicken Dip.
  2. Heat Chicken and Sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, combine the drained chunk chicken and hot pepper sauce. Stir occasionally and heat until thoroughly warmed, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add Cream Cheese and Ranch: Stir in the softened cream cheese and ranch dressing into the skillet mixture. Cook and stir constantly until everything is well blended and warmed through, about 3 to 5 minutes more.
  4. Mix in Cheese and Transfer: Stir in half of the shredded Cheddar cheese, then transfer the mixture to a slow cooker.
  5. Top and Cook: Sprinkle the remaining shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the dip in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low heat until the dip is hot and bubbly, approximately 35 minutes.
  6. Serve: Once hot and bubbly, serve the Buffalo Chicken Dip immediately with celery sticks and chicken-flavored crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • For a spicier dip, add extra hot sauce according to taste.
  • You can use cooked shredded chicken instead of canned chunk chicken if preferred.
  • Keep the dip covered in the slow cooker on a warm setting to maintain heat for serving longer.
  • This dip pairs well with tortilla chips in addition to celery and crackers.
  • To make ahead, prepare the mixture up to step 4 and refrigerate, then cook in the slow cooker before serving.
