Print Recipe

This creamy, tangy, and perfectly spicy buffalo chicken dip is made in the slow cooker with simple ingredients like canned chicken, cream cheese, hot sauce, ranch dressing, and shredded cheese. It’s the ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizer for game days, parties, and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (12.5 ounces each) canned chicken, drained
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. About 30 minutes before starting, take cream cheese out of fridge and cut into 1-inch cubes. Let sit at room temperature.
  2. Drain canned chicken well, pressing with back of spoon to remove excess liquid.
  3. Place drained chicken in slow cooker and flake with a fork into small shreds.
  4. Scatter cubed cream cheese over chicken.
  5. Pour Frank’s RedHot sauce and ranch dressing evenly over chicken and cream cheese.
  6. Sprinkle in 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar and all Monterey Jack cheese. Reserve remaining 1/2 cup cheddar for topping. Stir until somewhat combined.
  7. Cover and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours. Stir once after 1 hour.
  8. Once cheeses are melted and mixture is hot and bubbly, stir until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup cheddar on top. Cover and cook another 5 to 10 minutes until cheese melts.
  10. Switch slow cooker to WARM setting and serve directly from pot.

Notes

For best texture, shred your own cheese. Stir once halfway through cooking to prevent edges from browning. Let dip rest on warm for 30 minutes after cooking to meld flavors. If dip thickens too much, stir in a splash of milk or extra ranch dressing.
