Ingredients

  • 4 cups shredded chicken
  • 1 cup hot sauce Frank's RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup blue cheese crumbles, divided
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions, for garnish
  • tortilla chips, crackers, celery sticks, etc., for serving

Instructions

  • Place shredded cooked chicken in the insert of a slow cooker. Then add the buffalo sauce, cream cheese, ranch dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles. Stir to combine.
  • Cook on LOW for 2-1/2 hours or until the dip is heated and the flavors have melded together. When you're halfway through the cooking time, stir the dip to help the cheese melt.
  • Remove the lid. Garnish with remaining bleu cheese crumbled and chopped green onions. Keep the crockpot on the warm setting and serve the dip directly from the pot.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, celery sticks, and/or other veggies.

Notes

  • Chicken: You will need cooked, shredded chicken. I use this recipe for baking my 👉 chicken breasts, but you could also grab a rotisserie chicken from the store.
  • Buffalo Sauce: Frank's RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce is the type I use. Don’t use wing sauce - you should use real hot sauce for this recipe.
  • Cream Cheese: It's important to use cream cheese that's been softened or at room temperature.
  • Spicy Options: If you prefer a spicier dip, you can add more buffalo sauce, cayenne pepper, or sriracha. If you’d like to dial back the heat, feel free to reduce the amount of hot sauce.
  • Cheddar Cheese Options: While cheddar cheese is great in this recipe, you could also use different types of cheeses, such as Monterey Jack, Colby, or other melting cheeses.
  • Blue Cheese Options: If you don’t want to use blue cheese, goat cheese, and feta cheese work well, also.
  • Storing Leftovers: Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container, seal, and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
