Remember when parents used to set a chicken in the crockpot on low and slow, then come back eight or ten hours later to a fully cooked bird? Everyone’s favorite “set it and forget it” appliance has come a long way since those days, but Mom had the right idea. Your crockpot is still the perfect instrument to whip up a quick and easy slow-cooker Buffalo chicken dip that’s tailored for tailgating and primed to be your new favorite party dish.
This crowd-pleasing appetizer has all the elements of the perfect hot wing—dreamy Buffalo Sauce, Ranch Dressing to cool the tongue—plus cream cheese and cheddar to add even more savory satisfaction to the mix. The beauty of this slow cooker Buffalo chicken dip recipe is that guests can serve themselves directly from your crockpot. Simply add your ingredients, heat for a few hours while you get party-ready, and then set out a platter of dippers (we love gluten-free crackers and celery sticks), alongside individual plates and a large spoon for serving.
