Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip
This cheesy hot Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip is a classic football party recipe, and it’s really easy to make. Plus, making it in the slow cooker frees up your stove for other recipes!
Look no further this is the easiest and tastiest crockpot buffalo chicken dip recipe out there! We love making this for any game day throughout football season but it most definitely has to be a part of our Super Bowl party lineup as well as any family gamenight. It’s really just a matter of throwing some simple ingredients in the slow cooker and turning the dial which makes it a breeze to make and also super easy to transport and one of my favorite go-to appetizers that combines all the quintessential flavors of buffalo wings.
For the best buffalo chicken dip, I use a mix of cream cheese, mozzarella, and blue cheese crumbles. The cream cheese is essential for that dip consistency, the mozzarella for a little gooeyness, and the blue cheese for that salty tang, plus the classic buffalo flavor.
Ingredients
- Shredded cooked chicken breasts – I love the texture that the shredded chicken adds to this crock pot buffalo chicken dip. Feel free to cook raw chicken breasts yourself or you can use rotisserie chicken from your local grocery store and shred it yourself. If you are really in a pinch canned chicken can also be used but I often find it does not have the best consistency.
- Cream cheese – make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature.
- Sour cream – brings a creamy tang to this dip.
- Freshly shredded mozzarella – I love how smoothly mozzarella cheese melts and helps combine all the ingredients in this dip. As always it is best to buy cheese and shred it yourself instead of using pre-shredded cheese.
- Frank’s hot sauce – hands down Frank’s hot sauce is my favorite wing sauce out there but feel free to use your favorite type of hot sauce.
- Green onions – also known as scallions add a bright pop of color on top of your dip and a subtle onion flavor.
- Garlic powder and onion powder – you will only need a little of both but I love the depth of flavor these two ingredients add to this creamy dip.
- Blue cheese crumbles – you can not make a slow cooker buffalo chicken dip without the addition of that yummy blue cheese dressing flavor.
- Tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, sliced-up bell peppers – all your favorite dippers! Truly everything pairs well with this cheesy dip, if I have the time and want to go the extra mile I love to pair this buffalo chicken wing dip with toasted baguette slices.
Let’s make Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip
In a large crock pot combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded mozzarella cheese, Frank’s hot sauce, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, and blue cheese crumbles.
Mix everything as well as you can but remember that the mixture will combine together more as it melts.
Cook this easy buffalo chicken dip recipe on low heat for 3-4 hours until melty and bubbly. If you are in a pinch for time you can also cook this on high heat for 1-2 hours.
You can serve it right in the crockpot, in which case I’ll clean up the sides a little bit, and garnish the top with blue cheese crumbles, scallions, and more hot sauce.
Enjoy this delicious dip recipe with your favorite crackers, chips, and veggies
Tips and tricks
Don’t have any mozzarella cheese? You can mix it up with other white cheese such as white cheddar, Monterey jack, or pepper jack for a little kick!
Want to make this perfect appetizer a little zestier? Try adding a sprinkle of ranch seasoning and cayenne pepper to taste to really spice things up!
Don’t have a crock pot? You can make this Buffalo Chicken Dip that can be baked in the oven instead!
It’s an easy one, but a delicious one. Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite football appetizers
Thanks for the recipe – this looks great. Approximately how many people was this for? Enough as an appetizer for 8? I was also thinking of using a sliced up baguette to dip.
I love football watching food. This looks like a good recipe to put in the slow cooker while setting up the other finger foods and icing down the beer. Go Texans.
It’s so nostalgic for me! PS I love the Go Texans at the end 🙂 lol
Hi, could I used rotisserie chicken? Also, could I use feta, or some other cheese on top? Thx!!!
Yes that would work great to use rotisserie chicken. And I always say you to tweak recipes with what you think you’d like, so go for it with the cheese.
Wonderful
