Print Recipe

A quick and easy buffalo chicken dip combining tangy buffalo sauce, creamy blue cheese crumbles, and shredded chicken for a hearty, crowd-pleasing game day snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (about 300g) shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • ½ cup (120ml) buffalo hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (75g) blue cheese crumbles (quality brand like Maytag recommended)
  • ½ cup (120ml) ranch dressing
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine softened cream cheese and ranch dressing in a mixing bowl. Blend until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or spoon.
  3. Add buffalo hot sauce and mix until evenly incorporated. Adjust heat level to taste.
  4. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  5. Fold in shredded chicken and blue cheese crumbles, ensuring chicken is finely shredded but still chunky.
  6. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until edges are bubbly and cheese is starting to brown. Check after 20 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  9. Remove from oven and garnish with chopped green onions.
  10. Serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or preferred dippers.

Notes

Softening the cream cheese before mixing prevents lumps and ensures a smooth texture. Adjust buffalo sauce gradually to control heat. Shred chicken finely for better texture and scoopability. Keep an eye on cheese topping while baking to avoid burning. The dip can be assembled ahead and baked fresh before serving. For dairy-free or milder versions, substitute blue cheese and ranch dressing accordingly.
