Got a party coming up? Wondering what to serve? I have the best cheesy dip recipe you could ever serve right here, my friends. Make this you will be the star of the party. Everyone will love it, and you!

We're talking Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip, and it doesn't get any better than this.

Buffalo chicken dip is the king of appetizer recipes. It checks all the boxes - cheesy, gooey, spicy, easy! You can make a big batch for game days or any party situation, and it's so easy, you just dump everything into a crockpot and give it a stir every now and then.

I make a fantastic Buffalo chicken dip, but you can skip the baking dish and bust out the crockpot for this recipe.

Most people make this recipe with the same basic ingredients - cooked chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ranch or blue cheese dressing, Buffalo sauce - but I bring mine to a new level of flavor with a few additions that make it so much better, and perfect for the spicy food lover.

I think you're going to love this one, my friends!

Let's talk about how to make crockpot Buffalo chicken dip, shall we?

Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients

• MAIN INGREDIENTS
• Cooked Chicken. Easily cook your own, or use rotisserie chicken, or leftover chicken from a different recipe.
• Cream Cheese.
• Cheddar Cheese.
• Blue Cheese Dressing.
• Buffalo Sauce. Use your favorite store bought brand, like Frank's, or try my homemade Buffalo Sauce recipe. So good! I like to add in extra, at least another 1/2 cup or more, for extra Buffalo flavor! So good!

• EXTRA INGREDIENTS (to make it even better!)
• Roasted Jalapeno Pepper. Or just cook one up in a hot pan. Or, use a jar of chopped green chilies.
• Seasonings. I love to use my homemade Cajun seasonings blend or my homemade tacos seasonings, depending on my mood. Use your favorite blend, though. I'd love to hear your secret go-to!
• Garlic Powder. I like it extra garlicky.
• Salt and Pepper. To taste!
• Hot Sauce. Yes! Don't forget the hot sauce! Use your favorite. I'm sure you can REALLY spice it up, you crazy chilihead.
• FOR SERVING
• Crumbled blue cheese, chopped green onion, spicy chili flakes, tortilla chips or celery sticks

How to Make Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip - the Recipe Method

STEP 1: Add Everything to a Crock Pot or Slow Cooker. Add the cooked chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, blue cheese dressing and Buffalo sauce, along with your chosen extra ingredients (jalapeno and seasonings) to the crock pot. Give it a stir.

STEP 2: Slow Cook the Buffalo Chicken Dip. Cover and slow cook for 1 hour on high or 2-3 hours on low, stirring every 30 minutes.

Boom! Done! Your crockpot Buffalo chicken dip is ready to serve. Somebody pass me the chips, please! I'm so ready to dig into this right now. Look at all that wonderful cheese. 

Recipe Tips & Notes

Raw Chicken. If you are starting with raw chicken, roughly chop the chicken (breast or thigh meat), season with salt and pepper, and cook in a pan with a touch of oil over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through, 6-7 minutes. I definitely recommend cooking the chicken first before adding it to the crock pot. 

The Jalapenos. I love to include either roasted or pan seared jalapeno peppers with my buffalo chicken dip. It adds extra flavor and spice factor. You can either roast the jalapenos - see how to roast chili peppers - or simply chop and cook them in a pan with a touch of oil for 3-4 minutes to soften them.

The Cheeses. This recipe uses three different cheeses - cream cheese, blue cheese (on top) and cheddar cheese, but you can use other shredded cheeses. Use good melty cheeses for a better consistency, like colby, Monterrey jack or pepper jack. It's really good with goat cheese, too!

Serving Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip. I suggest setting the dip to the crockpot "warm" setting for serving, and just serve it right out of the crockpot. Leave a small spoon for your guests to scoop it out. Serve it alongside crispy tortilla chips, crackers, or celery sticks. So good this way!

That's it, my friends. I hope you enjoy my crockpot Buffalo chicken dip recipe. Are you making it? Can I come to your party? I'd love to hear how it turned out for you. Keep it spicy!
