Buffalo Chicken Dip

By Sam Pierce

Ingredients (~4 cups dip)

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup mild cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

Beat the Cream Cheese Until Smooth

Use a handheld mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it’s completely smooth with no lumps.

Add the ranch dressing and buffalo sauce; mix until well combined.

The mixture should be creamy and uniform in color.

Stir in Cheese and Chicken

Fold in the grated cheddar cheese and shredded chicken until everything is evenly distributed.

At this point you can either bake it or use a crockpot.

Crockpot Method – Keep on Low for ~1-2 Hours

Transfer the dip to a 3-4 quart slow cooker, cover, and keep on low heat.

The dip is ready when it’s heated through and the cheese is melted – usually takes about 1-2 hours depending on your crockpot.

Stir once halfway through if you remember.

Oven Method – Bake at 350F for ~20 Minutes

Spread the dip in a casserole dish and bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes.

You’ll know it’s done when it’s bubbling around the edges and the top starts to turn golden.

Give it a stir before serving – this helps redistribute any separated oils and makes it creamy again.

Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or celery sticks.

This dip makes enough for 4-6 people and reheats perfectly – I always make it when I need something quick that’ll actually get eaten.
