Variations

You can easily change the recipe to make it a little different each time. Here are some ideas:

• Add blue cheese. Stir in blue cheese crumbles or blue cheese dressing to add an extra layer of flavor that perfectly complements the spicy buffalo sauce.
• Use convenient chicken options. Save time in the kitchen by using leftover rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your chicken breasts. Or, use canned chicken from the pantry.
• Lower the fat. You can use Greek yogurt for some or all of the cream cheese to provide a creamy texture while reducing the overall fat content.
• Customize the spice level. Tailor the spiciness of your buffalo chicken dip to suit your taste buds by adjusting the amount of hot sauce used.
• Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the mixture for extra creaminess.
• Make it vegetarian. Sub the chicken out with a plant-based protein. Buffalo tofu is a great option.

If you like peppers, try sprinkling chopped air fryer jalapeño poppers on top. This will add an exciting top layer.

Tips

• Soften cream cheese to room temperature for easier mixing and smoother consistency.
• Use an appropriately sized crockpot for the amount of dip you're making. This ensures even cooking and proper blending of flavors. A 2-quart crock pot is recommended for this recipe.
• Gently stir the dip a couple of times during cooking to ensure even distribution of ingredients and to prevent sticking.

Serving suggestions

The dip is best served warm so you can serve it from the Crock Pot. To add a touch of freshness and vibrant color to your buffalo chicken dip, garnish it with some chopped green onions or parsley.

Serve it alongside baked tortilla strips, regular tortilla chips, celery sticks, or any other dippers. If you want something a little unique, add some air fryer pasta chips for an irresistible combo that will keep everyone coming back for more.

Storage

Allow the dip to cool completely before transferring it into an airtight container. It is recommended to consume it within 4 days.

You can also freeze the dip for longer storage. Transfer it into a freezer-safe container before placing it in the freezer. When ready to enjoy, thaw the dip overnight in the refrigerator and reheat it in the oven or microwave until heated throughout.
