Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip

Buffalo Chicken Dip recipe

Buffalo Chicken Dip is a creamy appetizer made from shredded chicken combined with cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and melted cheese. It’s baked until bubbly and golden, giving it a spicy, tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with chips, crackers, or vegetables. This dish delivers the taste of buffalo wings without the mess — warm, cheesy, and full of zesty goodness.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or boiled)

  • 8 oz (1 block) cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)

  • ½ cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing for a stronger flavor)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra creaminess)

  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Creamy Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce. Use a spatula or whisk to mix until smooth and creamy. The mixture should be thick but spreadable.

Step 3: Add the Chicken and Cheese

Add shredded chicken, half of the cheddar cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese to the sauce mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well coated with the creamy base.

Step 4: Assemble the Dip

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly using a spatula to ensure even baking. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top for a gooey, golden crust.

Step 5: Bake

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.

If you prefer using a slow cooker, cook on low heat for 2–3 hours or until the dip is hot and the cheese is melted.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions or crumbled blue cheese if desired. Serve warm with chips, crackers, or celery sticks.
