Buffalo Chicken Dip is creamy, cheesy, and so easy to make in your slow cooker or the oven! This dip tastes like chicken wings and is a party favorite!
How Do You Make Buffalo Chicken Dip?
Buffalo wings are always a hit at any kind of party, potluck, or even just for dinner sometimes! While they are so crave-able, they aren’t always practical or simple to make. That’s why I love buffalo chicken wings in dip form. It doesn’t get much easier than getting a few simple ingredients together, and letting your slow cooker or oven do all the work to create a thick and cheesy dip that’s packed full of buffalo flavor!
- For this recipe, I like to use a rotisserie chicken when possible. It is already cooked, easy to shred and get into the slow cooker quickly. You can also use canned chicken if that is your preference. I am also fond of keeping this Crockpot Shredded Chicken on hand for dips like this!
- Soften your cream cheese and cut into cubes before mixing up your dip. Softened cream cheese is always the best option if possible. However, if you’re short on time simply cut the cream cheese into cubes first. This will ensure that it melts smoothly into the dip.
How Long Do I Cook Buffalo Chicken Dip?
- Next, if making this in the crockpot you can simply combine all ingredients right in the slow cooker and mix to combine. Then, cook on low for 1-2 hours until hot and bubbly. Give it a good stir before serving to make sure everything is well combined.
- To make this in the oven. Combine the shredded chicken and remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix up with a large spoon. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.

How Do You Reheat Buffalo Chicken Dip in the Oven?
Bonus, you can make this dip ahead and heat it up later! Simply combine all ingredients as listed in the recipe card below. Then, pour into a container with a tight fitting lid, or a large zip-lock bag. Refrigerate for up to 3 days before cooking and serving. When ready to reheat, preheat your oven to 375, pour the dip into an oven safe dish, and bake till hot!
What Goes Good With Buffalo Dip?
You can serve this dip with any crackers, chips, and veggies that you like the best. Some of my favorites are tortilla chips, nacho chips (Doritos), Ritz crackers are great, and for veggies we really love celery and carrots!
Enjoy!

Gonna be making this in a few for a Halloween party today!
This is my daughter’s favorite buffalo chicken dip recipe. And she is picky! I usually add a little extra chicken so it’s thicker. We serve it with tortilla chips or celery sticks. I make a double recipe because it tastes just as good or better when reheated.
Made it with Buffalo ranch seasoning instead of regular- sooooooooooooo goooood
Delicious. I increased the amount of cheese and cream cheese and added a can of rinsed black beans. So easy. So good.
Made exactly like the recipe says, & everyone loves it. I’ve made it so many times over the holidays and no ones tired of it.
Is it ever salty?
I just made some, and it’s to salty! Lol. I followed the recipe.
I agree about the saltiness but if you add about 1/3 cup of sourcream it takes the saltiness away.
So very good! Better than any of the other versions that use ranch dressing. My kids ate this up! The only thing I did extra was add a few chopped green onions. Will make again!
Outstanding! Doubled recipe for super bowl party used I packet ranch seasoning plus 1/2 cup ranch dressing. Used 1/2 Frank’s red hot and half franks Buffalo wing sauce. Oven baked method. Cooked chicken day before in crock pot then shredded and assembled next day. Great make ahead….highly recommended.
Best recipe!!!!!!
What buffalo hot sauce does everyone use for this?
I use Frank’s Red Hot 🙂
BANGIN!!!
I added about a cup more of cheese and a cup more of buffalo sauce. So gooooood!
