- Buffalo Sauce: Frank’s RedHot is my go-to for that classic tangy heat.
- Cream Cheese: The creamy base that gives this dip its signature texture.

Optional Add-Ins

How I Make It Step By Stp
Step 1: Combine everything.
In the crockpot, I add shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and dressing. I give it a quick stir to mix, then top with the shredded cheese.
Step 2: Let it cook.
I cover and cook on low for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally until everything’s hot, melted, and perfectly blended. The smell is incredible spicy and buttery, just like wings fresh from the oven.
Step 3: Stir and serve.
Once everything’s creamy and smooth, I give it a final stir and switch the crockpot to warm. I like to garnish it with green onions or a drizzle of extra hot sauce.
Step 4: Enjoy every scoop.
I serve it with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or even slices of baguette. It’s one of those dishes that disappears fast people always ask for seconds (and the recipe).

- Spice Level: Adjust the buffalo sauce to your liking mild, medium, or hot.
