A quick and easy buffalo chicken dip with a crispy golden crust, creamy base, and tangy blue cheese, perfect for parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 450g, rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225g)
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles (75g, Maytag brand recommended)
  • 3/4 cup buffalo hot sauce (180ml, Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (120ml)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100g)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Mix the cream cheese and ranch dressing in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy, using a hand mixer for 1-2 minutes if available.
  3. Add buffalo hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine evenly.
  4. Fold in shredded chicken and blue cheese crumbles gently to keep texture.
  5. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish (about 8×8 inches) and spread evenly, with a slightly thicker center layer.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown with crispy edges.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil the dip for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch carefully to avoid burning. Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing to avoid lumps. You can assemble the dip a day ahead and refrigerate; add 5 extra minutes to bake time if baking from cold. Use sturdy dippers like celery sticks, pita chips, or crunchy crackers for best results.
