All of the flavors of buffalo chicken wings are packed into this easy, super creamy, ultra cheesy Crockpot buffalo chicken dip that’s always a buffet or game day hit!

I asked. You replied. And now here I am, delivering.
When I asked you on Facebook if you’re craving a new recipe with chicken or one with cheese, some said one, the rest said the other. But most of you said, “BOTH!”
Yesterday I fulfilled your request for chicken when I delivered these chicken wings. Today I’m passing out the chips (or veggies, if you please) to dig yourself deep into some serious dipping of chicken AND two kinds of cheese. In buffalo sauce. And even more cheese of the blue veined variety.
Because that’s just the kind of gal in the kitchen that I am.
As an appetizer, is there anything more popular than buffalo wings? I’d dare say, most likely not. Unless we break out the chips, salsa and guacamole.
But I owe you a recipe that’s a bit more enticing than that, but something that is just as easy to pull together.
This Crockpot dip recipe…could it get any easier? I’d dare say, not.
Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients
If you’re searching for a heart healthy slow cooker buffalo chicken dip, this ain’t it. You’d best keep looking if that’s what you’re after. But for everyone else who loves classic buffalo chicken dip with blue cheese, read on.
Here’s what you’ll need to make this Crockpot buffalo chicken dip recipe:
- Cream cheese
- Cooked chicken
- Shredded Colby Jack cheese
- Sour cream
- Frank’s red hot sauce
- Green onions
- Blue cheese
- Garlic salt
- Onion powder
- Mozzarella cheese
How to Make Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip
There’s not much prep to this Crockpot chicken wing dip recipe. Unless you count chopping some already cooked chicken, shredding and crumbling some cheese (boom, done and done) and chopping up a few green onions (green and white parts please).
To make this slow cooker dip, first layer the cream cheese on the bottom of the bowl of a slow cooker. Top with chicken, shredded cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, half of the green onions and half of the blue cheese crumbles. Then, sprinkle with garlic salt and onion powder.
Cook the Crockpot buffalo chicken dip on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours or until the cheese has melted. Stir in the mozzarella cheese and garnish with the remaining green onion and the remaining blue cheese, then serve.
Can I Prep This in Advance?
You can definitely prep the individual ingredients ahead of time (cook the chicken, chop the onions, and so on). But you should wait until a few hours before your guests will be over to assemble and cook the Crockpot buffalo chicken dip. Leftovers never seem to reheat as well!
What to Serve with Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip
This buffalo chicken dip with blue cheese pairs well with pretty much any veggie or salty snack. A few of our favorite things to eat with this dip are:
- Tortilla chips
- Celery sticks
- Carrots
- Pretzels
- Toasted baguette slices
- Crackers
Tips for Making Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip
If you’re short on time, skip cooking the chicken yourself and shred a rotisserie bird instead. It’ll save you a lot of time a hassle. However, if you plan on cooking the chicken yourself, I suggest reading up on my preferred method for Baked Chicken Breasts so you don’t accidentally dry out the meat.
I used sour cream, garlic salt and onion powder to replicate the flavors and tang that ranch dressing would provide. If you want, you could use ½ – ¾ cup of store-bought Ranch dressing instead of the sour cream, garlic salt and onion powder.
If you’re serving this for a buffet or game day and need to keep it hot, lower the temp of the slow cooker to warm, keep it covered and leave it for your guests to help themselves.

Has anyone cooked this in an instant pot? Any direction on cooking it that way?
I haven’t! I hope we get another comment from someone who has.
I made this for a “International Food Festival” at my job today. I doubled the recipe and used shredded BBQ Chicken. The chicken off balanced and brought everything together. The cheeses worked great. I came in with a full 6-QT Slow Cooker and now that pot is totally empty. I will definitely be making this dish again. I have been searching long and hard for the right Buffalo Chicken Dip recipe and I have finally found it. Thank you.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve made this twice since Thanksgiving and had to double the recipe both times. I cooked the breast in the crockpot on low with some chicken paste. It added a lot of flavor to the chicken. EVERYONE LOVED THIS!!!!!!!!!! I have guys from the loading dock come in and ask for the recipe.
I made this and it was perfect! A big hit with everyone. The only thing I changed was I shredded the chicken instead of chopping it. It was delicious!
Hello so I’m really looking forward to using this recipe for a party next weekend but I’m wondering how much should my measurements be for my 5 quart crock pot? There’s going to be like 30 people there. Thank you!
lol wow so good
I made this yesterday, and it was a huge success! Emailing my mom-in-law the recipe right now, at her request. So delicious!
YEA! So glad you’re spreading recipe love to your MIL!
This looks awesome! I’m making it for a big Super Bowl crowd. Should I just double all the ingredients?
This was delicious!
What an amazingly delicious idea, Heidi! This dip rocks! You rock!
oooooommmmmmmmmmmmggggggggggg.
Super excited about this! You definitely delivered :) and that photo with the melty stringy cheese? I die.
This dip looks delicious! I’m a cheese fanatic – any time 4 cheese types are in a dip, its a win for me. :)
