The recipe features a base of chunk chicken, drained from cans for ease of preparation, which is heated with a generous amount of pepper sauce for that signature buffalo flavor. The addition of cream cheese and ranch dressing creates a rich, smooth texture and helps to balance the heat with its creamy tanginess. The dip is further enriched with 1½ cups of shredded Cheddar cheese, which adds a layer of gooey, melty goodness.

Once the chicken is heated and mixed with the sauce, cream cheese, ranch dressing, and half of the Cheddar cheese, the mixture is transferred to a slow cooker. This is where the magic happens: the remaining cheese is sprinkled over the top and the dip is left to cook on a low setting until it becomes hot and bubbly, perfect for dipping. The recommended accompaniments are celery sticks, providing a crisp, refreshing contrast to the dip’s richness, or keto chips for those adhering to low-carb diets.
