This creamy, spicy, and cheesy buffalo chicken dip is the ultimate game day appetizer. Made with simple ingredients like cream cheese, shredded chicken, and buffalo sauce, it’s always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 3/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Stir in ranch dressing, buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
  4. Fold in shredded chicken until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour mixture into prepared dish and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly on top. Add blue cheese if using.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly, with cheese melted and lightly golden. For a browner top, broil for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions or extra ranch if desired. Serve hot with tortilla chips.

Notes

For a slow cooker method, follow steps 2-4, then cook on low for 2-3 hours or high for 1-2 hours. Add cheese in the last 30 minutes. Shred your own cheese for best melt. Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps. Taste and adjust hot sauce to desired spice level.
