Chicken Buffalo Recipe – The Ingredients

Here’s everything you need to make this delicious Chicken Buffalo Dip:

  • Shredded Cooked Chicken: Use shredded rotisserie chicken or any leftover cooked chicken for a quick and easy base.
  • Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing into the dip.
  • Ranch Dressing: This adds a creamy, tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the spicy buffalo sauce.
  • Buffalo Wing Sauce: This gives the dip its signature heat and bold buffalo flavor.
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese: The cheddar is a must for this dip.
  • Crumbled Blue Cheese: Optional, but if you love blue cheese, it gives an extra layer of flavor.
  • Olive Oil: Lightly grease the baking dish to prevent the dip from sticking as it bakes.

How to Make Chicken Buffalo Dip

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo wing sauce.

Step 3: Add the shredded cheddar cheese and blue cheese (if using), then mix until everything is well combined.

Step 4: Spread the dip mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the cheese is melted and slightly golden on top.

Step 6: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Answer Time

Here are some questions and answers about this dip you might have.

1. What Goes Well With Buffalo Chicken Dip?

Buffalo chicken dip is like the MVP of snacks, so you want to pair it with something that can handle the flavor party.

My go-tos are celery sticks, baby carrots, and sliced cucumbers for a fresh and crunchy vibe.

But if you’re all about the carbs, tortilla chips, crackers, or even warm, soft pretzels are chef’s kiss.

Feeling fancy? Toasted baguette slices totally elevate the whole thing.

Oh, and don’t sleep on pita bread—so good!

2. Why Did My Buffalo Chicken Dip Separate?

So when your dip starts to separate, it’s usually because the heat was just a bit too high.

High temperatures can break down the cream cheese or mayo, causing that greasy layer to appear.

To avoid this, keep the heat low and steady—whether you’re baking it in the oven or using a slow cooker.

Stirring it occasionally can also help keep everything smooth and blended.

3. Why Is My Buffalo Chicken Dip So Runny?

Runny dip can be so frustrating, but don’t worry, this usually happens if there’s too much liquid from the chicken or hot sauce.

Shredded chicken works best when it’s drained thoroughly—no one wants watery dip.

Also, double-check your ratios; too much ranch or hot sauce can make it soupy.

To fix it, pop it back in the oven to thicken, or add more cream cheese or shredded cheese to balance it out.
