Ingredients you will need
- Chicken – I normally use both the white and dark meat of a rotisserie chicken, but any type of shredded chicken will work! You can even just use chicken breasts if you want.
- Cream Cheese – Makes the dip rich and creamy! I always use Philadelphia cream cheese, but any brand will work.
- Ranch Dip – Adds an addictively good component that perfectly balances out the hot sauce. Feel free to use homemade or store-bought ranch dressing. Sour cream, Greek yogurt, and blue cheese dressing are other options if you don’t have ranch.
- Buffalo Sauce – Gives this sauce its signature flavor profile of chicken wings. Just like the ranch, you can make your own homemade buffalo sauce or use any store-bought brand you prefer.
- Cheddar Cheese – Adds a layer of gooey cheese. You can also use other types of cheese such as Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella cheese.
- Green Onions – Used to garnish the sauce, it adds a hint of vibrant green color and a nice herbed onion finish.
- Blue Cheese – Buffalo sauce and blue cheese go hand in hand. Just a pinch is added just before serving.
How to make Buffalo Chicken Dip
This buffalo chicken wing inspired dip is ridiculously easy! With just three easy steps and less than 30 minutes, you can prepare a sensational appetizer that will have friends and family singing your culinary praise.
First things first, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). It should be done when the sauce goes in or it won’t bake as evenly. Next, take an oven-safe baking dish and set it aside.
After shredding the chicken, combine it with the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce in a large bowl. It is important to fully incorporate the ingredients. Then add the grated cheddar cheese and mix again.
