Print Recipe

This creamy, tangy Buffalo chicken dip is the ultimate crowd-pleaser for game day or any gathering. Made with simple ingredients like cream cheese, hot sauce, and shredded chicken, it comes together in about 30 minutes and tastes like comfort food at its finest.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 green onions, sliced thin (for garnish)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure cream cheese is softened.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream. Blend with a hand mixer or sturdy spatula until completely smooth.
  3. Add Buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, and ranch dressing mix (if using). Stir until well combined and uniform in color.
  4. Fold in shredded chicken and half of the cheddar cheese (about 1/2 cup). Stir gently until evenly distributed.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a 9×9 inch baking dish (or similar oven-safe dish) and spread into an even layer.
  6. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese on top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until hot and bubbly around the edges and cheese is melted and starting to turn golden.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to set.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions right before serving.

Notes

For best texture, ensure cream cheese is fully softened. Use freshly shredded cheese for smoother melting. Adjust hot sauce to taste. Dip can be made ahead and refrigerated; add 5-10 minutes to baking time if starting cold. For a quicker version, microwave in 30-second intervals until hot and bubbly.
