Frank’s Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe

Frank’s suggests baking this dip, but I prefer the slow cooker method.

It takes a bit more time for the dip to come together, but it’s so easy and foolproof.

Plus, it keeps your oven free for other things, which is crucial when you’re hosting a party.

All you have to do is pour the ingredients into the slow cooker, mix them, and cook on low for 4 hours (or on high for 2 hours).

After that, set the slow cooker to “warm,” and the dip will stay gooey and perfect all night.

Tips for the Best Frank’s Buffalo Chicken Dip

I know this recipe is incredibly easy, but I still have some tips to ensure your dip is perfect.

  • Whisk the cream cheese and Ranch dressing before adding the other ingredients. This will make the diplighter and richer.
  • Make sure the baking dish is large enough for the dip and some bubbling. If you choose something too shallow, you’ll see the dip spilling over the edges when the cheese bubbles.
    • Also, place a tray under the baking dish to catch any drips. This way, you’ll have less cleaning up to do afterward.
  • Adjust the heat level. This dip is perfectly seasoned and offers just the right amount of heat. But if you’re feeding a lot of kids, for example, you might want to reduce the amount of hot sauce.
  • Get creative with toppings. Frank’s Buffalo Chicken Dip is amazing on its own. But you can enhance those flavors with tasty toppings like crispy onions, chopped tomatoes, extra ranch, or crushed chips for added crunch.
  • Serve it hot. This dip is always best when it’s hot and gooey. So, if you plan to make a large batch, I recommend using the slow cooker to keep it warm.

How to Store Frank’s Buffalo Chicken Dip

It’s highly unlikely there will be any leftovers. But in the rare cases when there is, storing it in the fridge or freezer is straightforward.

Of course, since this recipe contains chicken and cream cheese, its shelf life in the fridge is limited.

So be sure to store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

How to Freeze Frank’s Buffalo Chicken Dip

If you want to keep the dip longer, you’ll need to freeze it. The good news is that this dip freezes perfectly.

When it’s cold, place it in a freezer bag or an airtight container, and try to remove as much excess air from the bag/box as possible.

Then, freeze it for up to three months.

How to Reheat Frank’s Buffalo Chicken Dip

When you’re ready to reheat it, let the dip thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then place it in a slow cooker or oven to warm up.

Everything is precooked, so it just needs a gentle reheating to melt all that cheesy goodness.

How to Serve Frank’s Buffalo Chicken Dip

I can (and have) eaten Frank’s Buffalo Chicken Dip with a spoon. However, your guests may want something crispy to dip in this dip.

And the good news is that there are no wrong choices (except maybe fruits).

Some of the best accompaniments to serve with this delicious dip include:

  • Pretzels
  • Ritz crackers
  • Tortillas
  • Carrot sticks
  • Celery
  • Potato chips
  • Breadsticks
  • Bell pepper strips
  • Crusty bread
  • Waffle fries
  • Crunchy vegetables

The key to remember is that this dip is hot, cheesy, and sweet. Yes, there’s chicken in there, but it’s neither crispy nor crunchy.

So you want dippers that can hold up to a generous scoop of cheesy dip. And you want something with plenty of crunch to counter the creamy texture.
