Secret Recipes Book: Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip

This is my all-time favorite buffalo chicken dip recipe! It’s full of big flavors, and extra-easy when made in the crock pot. Win-win. :)

This weekend, Henry and I made a quick road trip down to Wichita for an extra special celebration — my parents’ 60th birthday party!

But of course, knowing my parents, it wasn’t just any party. (Yes, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.)

It was a “hippie dippie party“.

Over the course of the evening, over 60 friends and family arrived sporting their grooviest tie-dye, fringe, bell bottoms, peasant blouses, platform shoes, knee boots, beads, head scarves, and more. And to go with the theme, everyone also arrived with a dip in tow to share!

I took the easy route and borrowed a friend’s cute mumu for the night, which turned out to be fabulously comfy and allowed plenty of room for sampling the dozens of dips that arrived for the party. And then my own contribution to the dip-a-thon, I decided to put the crock pot to work making one of my all-time favorite appetizers. It only took about 10 minutes to prep, and disappeared before the first Simon and Garfunkel record was over. ;)

Let’s hear it for this far-out Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip!

I’ve been making my Skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip in the oven for years and years. But after my recent success transitioning my Spinach Artichoke Dip to the slow cooker, I decided it would be fun to try slow cooking this one as well.

As it turns out, it works like a charm!

Simply add all of your traditional buffalo chicken dip ingredients to the bowl of a slow cooker……stir them together……and then after cooking the mixture on high for 60-90 minutes, or on low for 2-3 hours……this ridiculously irresistible dip will be ready to serve. And I do mean irresistible. I’ve made buffalo chicken dip dozens of times, and there are never ever leftovers. It’s a delicious fact of life that I’m ok with. :)

Feel free to add some extra blue cheese and green onions on top, and either just serve it in the slow cooker……or transfer it to a serving dish for easier crowd-dipping. And enjoy every. last. bite.

We sure did. :)
