The Ultimate Creamy Buffalo Chicken Dip

This ultimate buffalo chicken dip recipe is a creamy, spicy, and cheesy crowd-pleaser, perfect for game days, parties, or any gathering. Made with shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and cheddar, it bakes up bubbly and irresistible.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup blue cheese dressing
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/2 to 3/4 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Buffalo Sauce (adjust to taste)
3 cups cooked shredded chicken (from rotisserie chicken or boiled/baked chicken breasts)
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
Fresh chives or green onions, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Celery sticks, carrot sticks, tortilla chips, pita bread, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, and ranch dressing. Beat with a sturdy spoon or hand mixer until completely smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Stir in the buffalo sauce. Mix thoroughly until the sauce is fully incorporated and the mixture is a uniform orange color.
Step 4: Fold in the shredded cooked chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated with the creamy buffalo mixture.
Step 5: Transfer about two-thirds of the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to form the base layer.
Step 6: Sprinkle half (1 cup) of the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture in the baking dish.
Step 7: Spoon the remaining chicken mixture over the cheddar cheese layer, spreading it out as evenly as possible.
Step 8: Top the dip generously with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 9: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly around the edges, and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden. For extra browning, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully.
Step 10: Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh chives or green onions, if desired. Serve warm with celery sticks, carrot sticks, tortilla chips, or pita bread.

Notes

For best results, ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth dip. Adjust buffalo sauce to your preferred spice level. This dip is fantastic for meal prepping – store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days and reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
