Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- ¾ cup Frank’s Red Hot Wing sauce (wing sauce, not regular hot sauce)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the shredded cooked chicken, cubed cream cheese, ranch dressing, Frank’s Red Hot Wing sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese into the slow cooker bowl.
- Heat & Melt: Set the slow cooker to high heat and cook for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to ensure all ingredients melt together evenly and form a creamy dip.
- Maintain Warmth: Once melted and fully combined, reduce the slow cooker heat setting to low or keep it on warm during serving to maintain the dip’s creamy consistency and heat.
Notes
- Use wing sauce rather than regular hot sauce for authentic buffalo flavor.
- For extra spice, add more hot sauce to taste.
- Stir a few times while cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even heating.
- Serve with celery sticks, tortilla chips, or crackers for dipping.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the slow cooker or microwave.
