buffalo chicken dip
This buffalo chicken dip is creamy, cheesy, and packed with bold flavor, making it the perfect crowd-pleasing appetizer for game day or any party. It’s easy to make, bakes up bubbly, and disappears fast.
Ingredients
For the dip:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 green onions sliced
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For serving:
- Celery sticks
- Tortilla chips
- Crackers
- Toasted baguette slices
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish or small casserole dish.
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, melted butter, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Fold in the shredded chicken, half of the cheddar cheese, half of the mozzarella, and most of the sliced green onions.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, then top with the remaining cheddar and mozzarella.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the dip is hot, melted, and bubbling around the edges. For a deeper golden top, broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end, watching closely.
- Let the dip rest for 5 minutes, then finish with the remaining green onions and serve warm with your favorite dippers.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
Swap ranch dressing for blue cheese dressing if you want a stronger, classic buffalo flavor.
For a deeper golden top, broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end, watching closely.
