The ULTIMATE EASY BAKED BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP is perfect for game day or any get together! Tender chunks of chicken, loads of buffalo sauce, and plenty of cheese make this one irresistible!
I may not know who is playing in the Superbowl this year (Does anyone? Have the teams been chosen? Do they even get chosen? How does this thing you call “football” even work?), but I know darn good and well that I’m going to be required to make thirty-seven different appetizers and dips for the game.
Oh, yes. My husband had that written into our marriage vows.
“I promise to love you forever ’til death to us part so long as you make me snacks on Superbowl Sunday.”
The wedding guests had never seen a more ridiculous wedding before.
Anyway, this Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip is perfect for the big game or for anytime you need a tasty dip. Tender chunks of chicken, creamy and melty cheese, plus plenty of buffalo sauce…what’s not to love about this?
We serve this with an assortment of veggies and crackers. It’s even delicious spread on our beer bread!
Be sure to try our crockpot buffalo chicken dip too!

Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients:
Chicken – Some recipes call for canned chicken, but we like the flavor and texture of fresh chicken best. A rotisserie chicken is perfect here!
Cream Cheese
Ranch Dressing – We usually just use Hidden Valley, or choose your own!
Blue Cheese Dressing – You can substitute with more ranch if you don’t like blue cheese!
Buffalo Sauce – We use Frank’s Red Hot. It adds the perfect hit of spice.
Crumbled Blue Cheese – You all may know that I am personally not a blue cheese fan, so I sub in cheddar when I’m making this for my family. For others, we go the blue cheese route.

“A friend of mine brought this dip to a party recently…DELISH! I was going to ask her for the recipe, but now I don’t have to! Thanks!” – Carla W.
How To Make Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe:
Mix: This is the best buffalo chicken dip recipe because it is about as simple as it gets, assuming you will be using a rotisserie chicken or already have pre-cooked chicken ready to go.
Shred up the chicken and add it to a mixing bowl with the cheeses, the dressings, and your hot sauce!
Mix all of the ingredients together until they are well combined.
Bake: If necessary you can go ahead and transfer the dip mix to an oven safe dish and start baking! It won’t take long, only about twenty minutes.
Once it has finished baking you can serve this easy buffalo chicken dip with your favorite chips, crackers, bread or whatever you dip with!
We love dipping celery and carrots or King’s Hawaiian bread in buffalo chicken dip. It’s also delicious spread on crackers or crostini. Tortilla chips make a great dipping option as well, but be sure to get a thick style of tortilla chip to hold up to the dip.
Absolutely! Prepare the dip according to instructions and then cover with foil and refrigerate prior to baking. When you’re ready to serve, just bake this off as instructed, adding an extra 10 minutes of bake time if it’s cold from the fridge.
We often skip the blue cheese entirely and swap it for shredded cheddar. Double up on the ranch dressing in place of the blue cheese dressing.

I stopped reading this recipe when the comments about puke, vomit and gagging. It’s probably a good dip, but I’d think about your description of canned chicken every time I’d serve it.

I love this so much I make it and take it to work for lunch. Add some crackers or tortilla chips and you have a great meal. It is also good on a wrap!
Karly says
Great idea! It’s definitely hearty enough for a lunch. I just updated the post to link to this recipe for chicken buffalo taquitos, too! http://www.bunsinmyoven.com/2012/09/30/buffalo-chicken-taquitos/

Thanks for the reminder. I used to make a variation of this and it was always a big hit. Guess what I’m serving @ Card Club tonight?? 😉
Matt says
no no no no no. substituting ranch for blue cheese is an absolute travesty.
PJ says
I doubled this recipe for Superbowl and it turned out wonderful. It was a hit at the party and everyone kept going back to it. Rotisserie is the key and I used about a half cup more of the hot sauce. I served it in a warm crock pot and it kept well. My sister who usually hates blue cheese, actually ate a lot of dip. You barely even notice the blue cheese. Served with tortilla chips. This dip will definitely make you want to drink beer or any type of beverage with it. Keeper! I got asked for copies of the recipe.

To go along with the bread, crackers, and chips, myself and my friends always love dipping celery sticks (or even carrots) into the buffalo dip. A little bit healthier option to the other dippers.
