I can’t remember the first time I had buffalo chicken dip, but I do remember it was at a football party. I couldn’t stop eating it and I wasn’t the only one!
Celery sticks, chips, crackers or bread for dipping

Notes
This dip is often baked until hot and served warm. In the summer you can warm this in the microwave!
One of the best ways to make this, however, is in the crockpot. Easy to transport if needed and to keep the dip warm. I've given you instructions for both methods below.
I like to serve this dip with celery sticks since it’s the traditional buffalo wing accompaniment. You could also serve with carrots or any vegetable. Crackers, tortilla chips (my favorite) or sliced baguette also make great dippers.
You can also substitute blue cheese dressing for the ranch. And if you’re not a fan of blue cheese, you can also use your favorite shredded cheese such as cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack.
