One unique ingredient helps make this the Best Buffalo Chicken Dip and it can be made in the oven or a slow cooker.
Buffalo Chicken Dip makes its appearance often at my parties. And I keep saying I need to publish it here but never getting around to it. With March Madness on the horizon, I’m finally getting around to sharing my secrets for the Best Buffalo Chicken Dip.
What makes this buffalo chicken dip the best?
There’s no bottled dressing in it. Instead, I add my blue cheese flavor with this Roka Blue Cheese Spread. It’s my secret ingredient that is not so secret anymore. This is not a sponsored post.
Should you bake or slow cook Buffalo Chicken Dip?
I make it both ways. Putting all the ingredients in a slow cooker means it stays fresh and warm for several hours – perfect for a party. But baking it makes it puff up and gives some extra texture to the cheese that is really delicious. It’s a personal preference.
Rotisserie chicken is the way to go!
Please don’t use canned chicken in this dip. I always buy a rotisserie chicken and use both the white and dark meat in my dip. You can just use the white meat if you prefer. But the taste and texture of rotisserie chicken is about a thousand times better than canned chicken.
More tips for the Best Buffalo Chicken Dip:
- I use my stand mixer to make quick and easy work of mixing this dip.
- A 4 or 6 quart slow cooker is ideal for heating this dip.
- I use a baking dish similar to this one for baking the dip.
- I like serving a variety of dippers for this dip – celery sticks, crackers, pretzels and tortilla chips are great choices. Depending on your dippers, this recipe is friendly for low-carb and gluten-free.
