What Is Buffalo Chicken Dip?
Buffalo chicken dip is a creamy, cheesy appetizer inspired by the flavors of buffalo chicken wings. Instead of messy wings, you get a spoonable, scoopable dip with all the same spicy kick and cheesy goodness. Using a crock pot makes it even easier, keeping it warm and melty for hours.

- ½ cup buffalo wing sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
