I have seen and tried several buffalo chicken dip recipes, but in my humble opinion this is the best . I always have people asking how to make it. It is so easy and can be fixed several different ways. I think my favorite is the crock pot, just because I feel like the flavors meld together better. How do you usually make your buffalo chicken dip? This is a hit at every get together, perfect for a football game party.
I love to make this for birthday parties, or when we have our family movie nights. Kenny usually grabs a pizza and I will serve this buffalo chicken dip with it. We have friends that always request my buffalo chicken dip when they come over.
What You Need for This Recipe:
Chicken
This buffalo chicken dip starts with shredded chicken. You can use rotisserie chicken, or even canned chicken (I’m just not a fan of the taste)
Hot Sauce
Hot pepper sauce (such as Frank’s, which is my favorite) turns up the heat. Use more or less than the recipe calls for to suit your spicy preferences.
Cream Cheese
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to make it easy for incorporation.
Homemade Ranch Dressing
This adds creaminess and tang. You can use blue cheese dressing if you would rather.
Mozzarella Cheese
Makes this dip gooey and cheesy. Cheddar cheese can also be used.
I think what sets this recipe apart from the rest is using real chicken, Frank’s hot sauce, and homemade ranch dressing. It just doesn’t taste the same with canned chicken, other hot sauce or bottle ranch dressing.
