Description

A creamy, spicy, and cheesy dip loaded with buffalo flavor—perfect for game days, parties, or anytime you need a delicious appetizer!


Ingredients

Scale
  1. 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great!)
  2. 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  3. ½ cup Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Sauce (adjust for heat preference)
  4. ½ cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing for a tangier kick)
  5. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  6. ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  7. ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  8. ½ teaspoon onion powder
  9. ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  10. 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a small baking dish (8×8 or 9-inch pie dish).
  2. Mix the Dip:
    In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, Frank’s Buffalo Sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
    Stir in shredded chicken, ½ cup cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese until well combined.
  3. Bake:
    Spread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese.
    Bake for 20-25 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
  4. Garnish & Serve:
    Sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, crackers, or toasted bread.

Slow Cooker Method:
Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.


Notes

  • If you prefer a stronger buffalo flavor, feel free to adjust the amount of Frank’s Buffalo Sauce.
  • For a tangier dip, substitute ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing.
  • The dip can also be served with vegetables like carrot sticks or cucumber slices for a lighter option.
