Buffalo Chicken Chip Dip
Yum….. Chicken, cheese, cheese, Ranch, and hot sauce! This 5-ingredient buffalo chicken chip dip is easily a midwestern party must-have for the appetizer table. Simply mix and go for a hot on-the-go party dish!
Ingredients
- Cooked Chicken
- The chicken needs to be cooked. We choose to use shredded cooked chicken that we cook up in a crockpot, shred, portion out into 2-cup bags, and refreeze. Then we just have to thaw the chicken for quick meals and appetizers.
- Want an easier way? Use 2- 12.5 ounce cans of chicken in water. Make sure to drain them.
- Cream Cheese
- Softened at room temperature(cubed if making on the stovetop)
- Classic Ranch Dressing
- Kraft Ranch is the house favorite here; however, I do use generic brand Ranch in chip dips.
- Franks Red Hot Sauce
- We stick to Franks Red Hot Sauce as a rule. For us, the flavor is just better.
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Tortilla Chips
- Two regular-size bags or one really big bag of your favorite brand is what you will need.
- Celery
- Optional but refreshing, especially if you don’t know the crowd. People like dipping options.
Directions
This is as easy as it gets!
First, add all ingredients except the celery and chips into a slow cooker. Lightly stir. Then cook for 1-2 hours on HIGH, stirring occasionally. Once everything is heated through and well blended, it’s done!

Stove-Top Buffalo Chicken Dip
In a large skillet, on medium heat, heat up the chicken and hot sauce. Then stir in the Ranch and cubed cream cheese until completely melted. Next, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until well blend. Cook until hot and bubbling. Then turn to keep warm. Transfer dip into a serving container, glass baking dish, or slow cooker on warm for the party!
