BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP RECIPE

Any given Sunday during football season if you show up at our house we will be eating this dip. John doesn’t like to eat a lot before games so when we come home after the game he’s starving.
 
I always fix this quick dip to take the edge off while I finish up making dinner. Don’t be turned off by the picture…it’s hard to make this Buffalo Chicken Dip look pretty.
 
I have heard this referred to as “Crack Dip” because it’s so addicting. This is not for the faint of heart; it has some heat but you can definitely control that by adding more or less buffalo sauce.
 
My sister-in-law Kim introduced this Buffalo Chicken Dip to the Denney family since they love Buffalo chicken wings and buffalo flavored anything. I’m pretty sure she made it up and then soon after everyone started making and eating this Buffalo Chicken Dip.

Update: We’ve since made this dip so many times that it’s requested at all football games, young women’s activities, baptisms, and funerals.
 
We use rotisserie chicken in this version but you can use shredded chicken breasts or thighs cooked on the stovetop or in a crock pot.

HOW TO MAKE BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

  1. Heat chicken and Buffalo sauce in a skillet over medium heat, until heated through. Make sure to break up the chicken so there are no big chunks. Stir in cream cheese and ranch dressing. Cook, stirring until well blended and warm.

  2. Mix in shredded cheese. Pour into a shallow dish or pie pan and sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles. We usually only sprinkle blue cheese on half of it for those who aren’t blue cheese fans.

  3. Bake in a preheated oven to 350 for 15-20 minutes or microwave it until the cheese melts. Serve with chips for dipping.
