Ingredients for Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip

Chicken – Use rotisserie chicken or cooked shredded chicken for this recipe. Canned chicken can be used but should be folded in very gently at the end of prep.

Hot Sauce – Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Sauce is a favorite but feel free to use homemade buffalo sauce.

Flavor – Add garlic powder and green onion for a little boost of flavor.

Shredded Cheese: Shred your own cheese for better melting. Use sharp cheddar for the best flavor, or try Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese. Add some blue cheese crumbles for a twist.
