Ingredients Needed

Here’s the basic list of ingredients you’ll need in order to whip up some Creamy Buffalo Chicken Dip. As always, you can find the full list of ingredients located in the printable recipe card below.

• Rotisserie Chicken – or pre-cooked and shredded chicken

• Cream Cheese – full fat works best.
• White Cheddar Cheese
• American Cheddar Cheese
• Ranch Dressing – gives the dip a cool and creamy flavor!

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Dip

I’ll walk you through the steps of how to make this dip. Don’t forget to preheat your oven to 375℉.

Cook Garlic

In an oven safe skillet (I love to use a smaller 8″ cast iron skillet for this dip), heat the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Heat Chicken

Add the shredded chicken and Frank’s RedHot Sauce and bring to a simmer for 3 minutes.

Add Creamy Ingredients

Next, add in softened cream cheese and stir over medium heat until it’s incorporated into the sauce. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the ranch dressing.

PRO TIP: It’s helpful if the cream cheese is at room temperature to allow for easy mixing.

Add Cheese

Top the chicken dip with the freshly shredded cheese, and bake for 10 minutes or until the dip is bubbly. Turn on the broiler and cook for an additional minute to brown the top of the dip slightly.

Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions.

Recipe Tips and Substitutions

• This recipe can be transferred to a baking dish after warming the chicken, sauce, and cream cheese if you do not have an oven safe skillet.
• Substitute the hot sauce for your favorite salsa for a fun Mexican-flavored twist!
• Use FRESH shredded cheese for this recipe, not pre-shredded! Pre shredded cheese has additives in it to prevent caking that can cause the dip to have a grainy texture when melted.
• You can make Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip by following the instructions first on the stove top, then transferring to a crock pot to melt the cheeses on top until ready to serve.

Make Ahead and Storage

Refrigerate: Once cooled, Buffalo Chicken dip can be stored in fridge for up to 4 days.

Freeze: Not recommended due to the dairy. The texture could be affected by freezing the dip.
