How to Make Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip

Grease a small casserole dish and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and half of the shredded cheese until well combined.

Transfer the mixture into the greased dish, spreading it out evenly.

Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top to create a melty, golden layer.

Serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or your favorite dippers, and dig in!

Tips for Making

  • Use Rotisserie Chicken for Ease: Shredded rotisserie chicken is a time-saver and adds extra flavor. You can also use canned chicken or leftover cooked chicken in a pinch.
  • Room-Temperature Cream Cheese: Let your cream cheese soften before mixing—it blends more smoothly and ensures a creamy texture.
  • Don’t Overdo the Buffalo Sauce: Start with the recommended amount and add more to suit your spice preference. Too much can overpower the dip.
  • Prep Ahead: Mix everything together ahead of time and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake. Perfect for stress-free hosting!

Substitutions and Variations

  • Ranch Twist: Add a packet of ranch seasoning to the mix for extra tangy flavor.
  • Loaded Buffalo Chicken Dip: Top with cooked crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, or a sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles for a loaded version.
  • Slow Cooker Method: Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker on low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. It stays warm and gooey for hours—great for parties!
