Notes
Prep-Ahead Instructions:
Cook and shred the chicken in advance.
Storage Directions:
Keep leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. To freeze, seal slow cooker buffalo chicken dip in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 3 months. To reheat, return the thawed dip to a slow cooker, or quickly warm it in the microwave.
Recipe Tips
- Make it from scratch. Homemade buffalo wing sauce tastes better and is healthier because it doesn't have the added preservatives.
- Save some time. Rotisserie chicken is an easy option and has more flavor than canned chicken.
- Pour it in. Start with the sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker so the other ingredients don't burn.
- Cube it up. Smaller pieces of cream cheese will melt more quickly and evenly.
- The sharper, the better. Sharp cheddar cheese will give the dip the most flavor.
