We have already established that my husband loves him some hot stuff, but me and Thomas aren’t so crazy about it. That’s what makes this Buffalo Chicken Dip perfect! It isn’t too spicy, but my husband can throw some extra Tabasco Sauce on his portion and gobble it up! Plus, throw it in the Crockpot and you can take it anywhere!
This dip recipe is a perfect appetizer for a game day party, since it takes the taste of buffalo chicken wings and makes it into a dippable spread! Check out my Popular Dip Recipes, too!

This is a very versatile dip recipe, because it can be cooked either on the stovetop or in a slow cooker. To cook it on the stovetop, follow the recipe instructions below.
If you’d rather cook it in a crockpot, just spray the inside of the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Then combine all the ingredients in the cooker and mix well. Turn the crockpot on to low heat and cook until bubbly, 1 to 2 hours.
Specialty Ingredients:
The following ingredients are affiliate links on Amazon because they may be a bit hard to find in your normal store. I wanted you to be able to see exactly which things we are using.
Reminder, not all ingredients are linked above, just the ones that may be a bit difficult to find or that you might be unsure of what to look for.
You can serve this dip directly from the slow cooker, if you’d like. Or you can dish it into a pretty serving dish surrounded by chips and crackers. Either way works!
This dip would be delicious with celery sticks, of course. But you can also pair it with sturdy crackers, such as Triscuits, or tortilla chips!
If you want to take this dip to the next level, squeeze a little ranch or blue cheese dressing on top!

What did your kids think of this when they were young? Too spicy, or no?
Kelli Miller says
Brian, think Italian Sausage kinda spice. Too me it has just enough. This is the same way… just enough. But, the amount of spice is going to be determined by the brand of wing sauce you use. 🙂
