Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip

The whole ingredients list and instructions are in the printable recipe card at the end of this post. I highly recommend reading the blog post all the way through so that you don’t miss any tips or substitution suggestions, to ensure that you have all the ingredients and equipment required and understand the steps and timings involved.

I love using a slow cooker when entertaining as it is so convenient.

I can toss everything into the pot with minimal prep work, and leave it to cook all day long. Leaving me free to do other things without having to watch over it.

This buffalo chicken dip cooked in a slow cooker takes just 10 minutes to prepare, and then towards the end of the cooking time, you only have to shred the chicken before garnishing and serving.

You can even serve it directly from the pot if you need to!

This makes it an awesome appetizer for tail-gaiting and potluck parties.

Serve the dip as we have here with celery sticks, which are a classic accompaniment to buffalo chicken wings.

Or provide a plate of crackers or chunks of crusty bread for dipping.

Equipment Needed For This Recipe

Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use cups and/or weighted measurements. American cups and kitchen food scales are handy pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen as it means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog. I try to give American US customary, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. Please note, that you can mix cup measurements with weighted measures, but never mix US customary/imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, liters, etc.,).

Recipe Tips

• You may need to add additional chicken broth before serving to achieve desired consistency.
• The amount of heat can be adjusted easily to suit individual tastes by increasing or decreasing the amount of hot sauce and jalapeño used.
• Not a fan of blue cheese? Substitute it for Feta which is tangy, rich, and salty. Goat cheese and queso fresco are also good alternatives.

Storing Leftovers & Freezing

• Storing Leftovers: Cool (within 2 hours), transfer to an airtight container, and store in the fridge for 3-4 days.
• Freezing Instructions: Not suitable.
• With all leftovers, make sure the food looks and smells okay before consuming.
