Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue sauce
  • 2 ½ cups diced rotisserie chicken
  • 16 oz. sour cream
  • 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and sliced
  • ¼ tsp. onion powder
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper

For Serving

  • Sliced green onion
  • Garlic bread or crackers

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the barbecue sauce, diced rotisserie chicken, sour cream, most of the shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 1 cup), cooked and sliced bacon, onion powder, and black pepper to the slow cooker. Stir everything gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
  2. Top with Remaining Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the dip mixture in the slow cooker to create a cheesy topping.
  3. Cook the Dip: Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 2 hours. Avoid opening the lid during cooking to ensure the dip heats thoroughly and cheese melts perfectly.
  4. Add Final Garnishes: Once cooked, sprinkle additional cooked bacon slices and sliced green onions over the top of the dip for extra flavor and texture.
  5. Serve: Serve the warm barbecue chicken dip immediately with garlic bread or crackers for dipping.
  6. Enjoy: Dig in and enjoy the creamy, smoky flavors of this gooey slow cooker appetizer perfect for any occasion.

Notes

  • Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven or microwave until warm and gooey again before serving.
  • Prep the dip ahead of time and refrigerate; heat it before guests arrive to save party-day stress.
  • Serve with a variety of dippables like tortilla chips, Fritos, crackers, celery sticks, or pretzel crisps for versatile snacking.
  • Transform the dip into other dishes, such as stuffing jalapeño poppers or as a topping for mini sliders.
  • Variations include adding pepper jack cheese or diced jalapeños for spiciness, using bacon bits for ease, or incorporating ranch seasoning mix for extra flavor.
