Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip Ingredients

See the recipe card below for the exact quantities of each ingredient.

  • Cream Cheese: Gives a soft dippable texture to the dish and adds lots of flavor.
  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast: This is the base for your dip. Diced or shredded works great.
  • Cheddar Cheese: Adds a sharpness to the dip, making it even more craveable.
  • Blue Cheese Dressing: This is where it gets a bit funky and really ups the overall flavor.
  • Buffalo Wing Sauce: Gives this dish its signature heat.

For this recipe, you'll want to have on hand a 3-quart slow cooker, measuring cups, and a spatula.

Substitutions and Variations

Love this recipe but want to make it your own? Here are some helpful ideas for you to change this Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip.

  • Heat: Customize the spice level of your dip by adding more or less Buffalo wing sauce.
  • Hot Sauce: Add a few splashes of your favorite hot sauce (like sriracha) to adjust the spice to your tastes and give your dip more depth of flavor.
  • Canned Chicken: In a pinch, canned chicken works just as well here.
  • Rotisserie Chicken: Fully cooked and ready to go, all you need to do is shred your rotisserie chicken for an easy substitution.
  • Monterey Jack Cheese: Add even more spice to your dip with Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack.
  • Ranch Dressing: If you are not a fan of the bold flavors of blue cheese, swap it for ranch dressing instead.
  • Jalapeños: Freshly sliced or jarred jalapeños can be added for an extra kick.
  • Bacon: Everything tastes better with salty crumbled bacon.
  • Greek Yogurt: For extra protein and tangy flavor, Greek yogurt adds a lightened-up creaminess to your dip.

How to Make Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip

Check out how quick and easy it was to make this Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip in just a few simple steps.

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip in Ingredients
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip with Vegetables on the Side

Add the cream cheese, chicken, cheddar cheese, Buffalo wing sauce and ranch dressing to the crockpot.

Stir to combine. Cook on LOW for 1 ½ – 2 hours, stirring a few times.

If desired, add a little additional cheddar cheese to the top and keep the lid on until melted.

Serve with tortilla chips, carrots, and celery.

Hint: Bringing your cream cheese to room temperature makes all the ingredients mix together far more easily. If you’ve ever tried to mix cold cream cheese you know it is no easy task, so take the time to let it sit on the counter for a short while.

How to Store Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip

We recommend against freezing this dip as it is heavier on dairy, but it can be kept in the fridge in the event that you (somehow!) have leftovers. We have enjoyed repurposing our leftovers into sandwiches and have added the chicken mixture to tortillas to make a Buffalo chicken wrap. You could even try spreading it on a BLT for a tasty twist — trust us, it's delicious!

  • Refrigerator: Once cooled, place in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
  • Reheating: Bring to room temperature and warm up in the microwave, or transfer to an oven-safe casserole dish and bake.
  • Freezing: Once the dip is cooled, place in a small airtight container to allow for the least amount of air inside to prevent freezer burn. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
  • Make Ahead: All ingredients for this dip can be prepped ahead of time, and stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. When it comes time to make the dip, transfer the mixture to your slow cooker, and cook as instructed.

What to Serve with Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip

There is no shortage of possibilities for what to serve with your Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip.

  • Crackers: Choose your favorite cracker as a vessel for this cheesy dip. 
  • Pretzels: Sticks or waffle-shaped pretzels add a salty twist. 
  • Baguette: Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip spread onto freshly sliced baguette is delicious.
  • Crostini: For a crispy and crunchy side. 
  • Tortilla Chips: A classic pairing with any dip. 
  • Potato Chips: We love kettle chips or ruffled-edge chips that are sturdy enough to scoop this creamy dip. 
  • Veggies: Slice up some raw carrots, celery, or bell peppers for a fresh and crunchy dipping option.

Top Tip

Let’s chat about cheese again! I want to stress the importance of grating your own cheddar. Freshly grated cheddar blends more easily into the dip, and melts to a better texture for the best final product. Pre-shredded cheese is often coated in an anti-caking mixture to keep the cheese from sticking together. This will change the consistency of the dip quite a bit so take the extra time to grate your own.

Frequently Asked Questions About Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip

Do you have questions about making Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip?

Can I use canned or rotisserie chicken instead of chicken breast?

Canned and rotisserie chicken both work well as convenient substitutions in this dip. If you are using canned, be sure to drain it fully first.

Does my cream cheese need to be softened before adding it to the dip?

Softened or room temperature cream cheese is always easier to work with, helping to make your dip as smooth and creamy as possible. This will ensure an even melt.

Can I customize how spicy this dip is?

Absolutely. If you like your dip on the spicier side, feel free to add extra hot sauce. If you prefer a more mild dip, hold off on adding the full amount we call for.

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Yes. Prepare your dip ingredients and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When it comes time to make your dip, transfer the spinach and artichoke mixture to your slow cooker, and cook as directed.

How can I keep this dip warm for a party?

If your slow cooker has a "keep warm" setting, you can turn it on to keep your dip warm for serving at your gathering. Keep an eye on it to ensure that the edges don't become overcooked or browned, and stir occasionally.

If I am serving this dip for a party, how long can it stay out?

This dip can safely be set out at room temperature for up to two hours, otherwise it can be kept on the "keep warm" setting if you slow cooker has one.
