Amazing Buffalo Chicken Dip
Believe me, you’re going to love this Buffalo Chicken Dip! My friend Ted sent me another yummy dip recipe to try and now I’m addicted. If you love hot wings, this is the perfect recipe for a football party or pretty much any kind of gathering where you need to bring appetizers.
I call this tasty Buffalo Chicken Dip “girly game day food.” It’s much easier to make and less messy than eating chicken wings, plus everyone loves it! If you make this Buffalo Chicken Dip for the guys, you would need to prepare at least two batches! They will scarf it down because it’s so dang good.

How to Make the BEST Buffalo Chicken Dip
This amazing Buffalo chicken dip is very addicting! Be sure to make a double batch if you have more than 4 people at the party. This recipe can serve up to 8 people, but believe me, it will be gone fast!
You’ll need these ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast (Rotisserie chicken works great and saves tons of time.)
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 12 oz of Blue cheese or Ranch dressing (I used Blue cheese dressing)
- 1 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 – 2 cups Buffalo chicken wings sauce or hot sauce (Ted recommends Franks Hot Sauce)
- Blue cheese crumbles and fresh parsley for garnish is optional
It’s simple to make Buffalo Chicken Dip!
This dip is so simple! The easiest thing to do is to put chicken in a food processor and chop until crumbly. If you don’t have a food processor, you can shred your chicken by hand or use a hand held mixer. Put the chicken into a casserole dish and press down until the bottom is completely covered, about 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle hot sauce over the chicken. Do not mix it in, just sprinkle the hot sauce on top of the pressed chicken until it is covered. Put as much as you would like on here. I usually don’t use more than a cup because the Franks hot sauce can make this dip very spicy.
Melt the cream cheese and combine with the dressing and pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken. Again, do not mix! Just pour over the chicken until completely covered.
Bake for 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Add the cheddar cheese to the top and bake a little more until it’s melted.
To save on calories and carbs, this Buffalo chicken dip is amazing served with celery or carrots! The crowd favorite is usually chips or bread though.

September 6, 2012 at 8:09 amThis is a fave with my daughter’s cheer team. I’ve found a cheater method, too! I spread the cream cheese out in a pyrex, sprinkle the chicken over it, pour the ranch over that and put mozzerella, jack, n cheddar over it. We serve it with celery in Rochester like they do in Buffalo 😉 and also with Triscuits Rosemary/Garlic or Scoops. Love this!!

September 29, 2012 at 12:22 pmThat sounds great! I like the idea of serving it with celery too!
Kayla says
August 30, 2012 at 5:02 pmCan I prepare this in a casserole dish (other than heating in oven) and keep refridgerated until ready to cook next day?

June 26, 2012 at 6:06 pmThis dip has been a family favorite for a several years now. Only thing I do to the same recipe is add 2 cups of chopped celery. In Buffalo NY we always have Celery with our Wings and Blue Cheese. I also don’t layer – I mix everything together including the cheese in one big bowl and bake in oven 25 minutes.
Amy says
June 29, 2012 at 12:26 pmThe celery addition sounds great. I’ll try that next! Thanks!
Niki says
August 16, 2012 at 12:24 pmWe actually EAT it with Celery. I serve some chips/bread with it, but mostly celery sticks and carrot sticks.
I also have always premixed the dip before baking, but I think I would like your method better, as I hate how the chicken doesn’t stay chunky in my recipe.
Thanks!

June 26, 2012 at 4:49 pmI love this version of the buffalo chicken dip recipe. I saw one on Pinterest that had canned chicken & I’d much rather use rotisserie chicken.
danielle says
June 18, 2012 at 4:50 pmcould i make this the same way except put it in a crock pot?
Amy says
June 18, 2012 at 5:25 pmI haven’t tried the crock pot, but I bet it would work!
