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!

Not only it great dip but also makes great quesadillas
Can this dip be made a day ahead? And if so, what suggestions do you have for reheating the day of? Thank you
Sure, you can mix it up a day before and then just reheat it in your slow cooker as directed in the recipe. Should work just fine! 🙂
How much time if baked in the oven?
I’d say maybe about 20 minutes or so, just until it’s heated through.
Which buffalo sauce do you recommend ? Franks?
Frank’s is a great one! 🙂
I’ve never made anything like this before. Tasted great and easy to make!
The dip was AMAZING. I used canned chicken and was a little scared but it came out so nicely and creamy! Super easy and overall amazing recipe!
canned chicken how many cans? i want to do that but weary
This Recipe came out great! So creamy and delicious. Yummy! And soooo easy to make. I served mine with celery, crackers and plain white rice. I saw a few people pile the dip ontop of the rice like a curry dish. I tried it, and it was also delicious that way!
I’m concerned this won’t be creamy enough with just the packet of dry ranch. How did it turn out for you guys? Did you have to add mayo?
It’s creamy because of the cream cheese. I’m sure you could add mayo if you’d like.
Wow, did not expect the dip to be the best I’ve ever made. It really is the best recipe!!
Thank you, Emily! 🙂
I learned that the creamy-ness depends on how finely you shred the chicken but even if you don’t shred it that fine this recipe still comes out really creamy!
My husband make this all the time he usually add some Ranch or Blue cheese dressing to the mix.
You can add Ranch dressing instead of the seasoning.
I make mine with ranch dressing/dip instead. Usually never any left overs! I also top it with more cheese towards the end then serve it with scoops chis
One of my favorite things do with this dip Is it take jalapenos cut them in half take out the seeds stuff them with the dip then wrap them in bacon and put me oven or your air fryer until the bacon is crisp.
That’s a good idea, I think I’ll try it for this year’s Christmas party.
Ohh I’m so happy I found this recipe. I’ve been craving buffalo chicken lately and this is perfect! And I’m overstocked on chips anyway!
Great excuse to use up those chips! 🙂
