Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 450g, rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225g)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (120ml, Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (120ml, store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (115g)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (55g)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped green onions or celery for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: shred about 3 cups (450g) of cooked rotisserie chicken, discarding skin and bones. Set aside.
  2. Soften cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or spatula until creamy and smooth (about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Add buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the cream cheese and mix until combined.
  5. Fold the shredded chicken into the cream cheese mixture until evenly coated.
  6. Spoon the mixture into the crockpot insert and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly on top.
  8. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring halfway through (at 1 hour) to mix cheeses and check texture.
  9. About 10 minutes before serving, add optional chopped green onions or celery on top.
  10. Serve warm directly from the crockpot or transfer to a serving dish with sturdy chips, celery sticks, or crackers.

Notes

If the dip is too thick after cooking, stir in a splash of milk or extra ranch dressing to loosen. Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control heat level. Can be baked at 350°F for 25-30 minutes if no crockpot is available. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
