Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup Frank’s RedHot original buffalo sauce
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (full-fat recommended, or Greek yogurt for lighter option)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional garnishes: chopped green onions or fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken (10 minutes): If not using pre-cooked shredded chicken, poach or bake about 2 large chicken breasts (around 1 pound) until cooked through, then shred with two forks.
  2. Mix the base (5 minutes): In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the flavor boosters (2 minutes): Stir in buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until evenly mixed.
  4. Combine chicken and cheese mixture (3 minutes): Fold shredded chicken into the creamy buffalo base until well coated.
  5. Transfer to slow cooker (1 minute): Pour mixture into slow cooker and spread evenly.
  6. Add cheeses (2 minutes): Sprinkle shredded cheddar and crumbled blue cheese over the top without stirring.
  7. Cook low and slow (2-3 hours): Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours. Check after 2 hours; dip should be hot and bubbly with melted cheese. Stir gently and add a splash of milk or extra buffalo sauce if too thick.
  8. Final stir and serve (5 minutes): Stir dip to mix melted cheese into chicken base. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Garnish and present: Sprinkle chopped green onions or parsley before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth blending. Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control heat level. Stir gently to maintain creamy texture. If slow cooker runs hot, check dip at 1.5 hours to prevent burning. Leftovers keep well refrigerated up to 4 days and reheat gently with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
