This creamy Buffalo chicken dip combines spicy Buffalo sauce, tangy blue cheese, and a rich, cheesy base for the ultimate party appetizer. Quick to make and always a crowd-pleaser, it’s perfect for game days, potlucks, or any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Buffalo wing sauce (or favorite Buffalo sauce)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles, divided
  • 2–3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Optional: celery sticks and carrot sticks for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch dressing. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in Buffalo wing sauce until well blended.
  4. Fold in shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (reserve remaining for topping). Mix gently.
  5. Transfer mixture to a 9-inch pie plate or 8×8-inch baking dish. Smooth out evenly.
  6. Sprinkle remaining blue cheese crumbles and a few tablespoons of cheddar cheese over the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly and lightly golden. For a crispier top, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching closely.
  8. Remove from oven and let stand 5-10 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and extra blue cheese crumbles if desired.
  9. Serve hot with sturdy tortilla chips, crackers, celery, and carrot sticks.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat dairy and rotisserie chicken. You can make the dip ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking. For a milder dip, use less Buffalo sauce and more ranch or sour cream. To keep warm for parties, transfer to a slow cooker set on ‘warm.’
