Local Hero Saves Parties by Dumping 6 Ingredients Into Crock-Pot
KEY POINTS
- •Erin McDowell shared her six-ingredient Buffalo chicken dip recipe in a Business Insider feature before the Super Bowl.
- •She uses a rotisserie chicken, 12 ounces of Frank's RedHot sauce, ranch dressing, and two cheeses to make the dip sink-worthy.
- •The recipe requires a 6-quart slow cooker, cooks on low or high for 1 to 3 hours, and serves about ten people.
Erin McDowell, venerated as the Buffalo wing whisperer, shares her legendary slow-cooker recipe to end all party anxieties, featuring exactly six ingredients—including a 12-ounce bottle of Frank’s RedHot Buffalo sauce, half a cup of ranch, a pound of rotisserie chicken (yes, already cooked), and enough cheeses to satisfy a dairy farm. She swears by the ritual of skinning the chicken breast like a crime scene and insists on cutting cream cheese into cubes for equal melt distribution, because apparently, chaos theory doesn’t apply here. Prep time is gloriously non-existent: just toss and walk away for 1 to 3 hours of bubbling magic. Super Bowl attendance may spike, fridge space will shrink, and snack time will achieve existential zen.
