Ingredients and substitutions
If buying a rotisserie chicken from your local grocer or deli, the preparation is simple. All you'll have to do is shred about 2 ½ to 3 cups of chicken from your rotisserie chicken for this dip.
You can also shred about 1 pound of cooked chicken breasts and thighs to use instead, or use 1 pound of canned chicken.
Ranch seasoning can be homemade or store bought.
Sharp cheddar cheese can be substituted with pepper jack cheese or monterey jack cheese.
Ranch seasoning
I seasoned this dip with buffalo sauce (hence the name), but I also added some of my favorite Ranch Seasoning.
If you don't want to make your own, you can use a packet of store bought seasoning instead. And if you don't have either of those, substitute ½ cup of the sour cream with ranch dressing instead.
What to serve with buffalo chicken dip
If serving your buffalo chicken dip straight from your slow cooker, I suggest adding a large spoon for easy portioning. Or, move your dip to a large serving dish with chips or veggies on the side.
What can you serve with your buffalo chicken dip? Here are a few ideas:
- tortilla chips
- crackers
- pork rinds
- celery
- carrots
- bell pepper
Buffalo chicken dip makes a fantastic low carb appetizer. If you, or your guests, are following a low carb diet, I'd suggest serving your dip with pork rinds and fresh veggies.
