EASY BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP RECIPE
INGREDIENTS IN BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP
This recipe calls for:
- CHICKEN – rotisserie chicken is my favorite but you can use canned chicken as well.
- CREAM CHEESE – gives that creamy base. Some recipes add sour cream but I’m not a fan.
- RANCH DRESSING – every buffalo wing is usually served with ranch but you could also use blue cheese dressing.
- BUFFALO SAUCE – brand matters here. I like Frank’s redhot Buffalo sauce.
- CHEDDAR CHEESE – gives a sharp tang and cheesiness. You can use a sharp cheddar or a mild cheddar.
- BLUE CHEESE CRUMBLES – these are only for the purists. Not every one loves this so leave this on the side.
HOW TO MAKE BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP
-
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.
-
Mix in shredded cheese. Pour into a shallow baking 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.
-
Bake in a preheated oven to 350 for 15-20 minutes or microwave it until the cheese melts. Serve with chips for dipping.

Love this recipe!!!!!!Â
Delicious! I’ve made it with and without cheese and it’s good both ways!
Can I double the recipe?
Of course!
Delicious! I always use canned chicken and pour the juice in too. Plus 2 cups of shredded cheese in it, then another 2 cups on top. Very good with Fritos also!
Can this be made in a cockpot?
Sure!
Do you think this would be good with Crawfish tails instead of chicken? I need a crawfish dip recipe.
I’m new-ish to Keto.  Can’t wait to try this recipe! What are some good Keto options for the chips?
Ooh definitelty pork rinds or celery or sliced cucumber.
As an alternative to the hot sauce, my kids love it made with BBQ sauce instead of hot sauce.
Great idea!
I’ve used this both as a dip and refrigerated overnight and made buffalo chicken dip sandwiches the next day. Both ways have been big hits at parties.
Awesome!
Makes awesome quesadillas too!Â
This looks amazing! I need to try this asap!

This was delicious! A great way to get the kids introduced to spice without blowing them away. I did you twice as much chicken because honestly I didn’t read how much was needed. While hardier all the flavors were great. Definitely will make this again
It’s a family tried and true.
Can you put this in a small crock pot?
Yes, totally!
Goood site. I share on facebook.

awaiting 🙂
Philidelphia!
Generic works well, too!
I made this in 2012 after a guy I had a crush on invited me to a Super Bowl party. I needed something to bring and brought this–he asked me out the next day, and we’ve been married for 7 months now! I don’t wanna say it was all due to this dip, but he does request it pretty often and his cousins all ask for it at holidays and family gatherings, too. 🙂 Also a big fan of your baked ziti–it’s my go to when we have people over. Thanks!
That is the best story ever!!! I’m totally taking credit!!!
I found this recipe on your site over a year ago and have made it countless times- it’s our very favorite! Thank you!!
