A rich, tangy, and spicy creamy buffalo chicken dip perfect for game days and casual get-togethers, served with crispy tortilla chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) buffalo hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) ranch dressing
  • 1 cup (115g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup (60g) blue cheese crumbles (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the softened cream cheese until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the buffalo hot sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the cream cheese. Mix on medium speed until fully combined and creamy, around 1-2 minutes.
  5. Fold in the shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, and blue cheese crumbles (if using) with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Transfer the mixture to an 8×8-inch oven-safe baking dish, smoothing the top evenly.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the dip is hot, bubbly around the edges, and the top has a slight golden tint.
  8. Remove from oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve immediately with crispy tortilla chips.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps. Stir halfway through baking for even melting. If dip is too thick before baking, add a tablespoon of milk or ranch dressing to loosen. For extra spice, add cayenne or hot paprika with buffalo sauce. Serve chips on the side to keep them crispy. Dip can be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking.
