Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 pkg (8 oz) Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup crumbled blue cheese or your favorite shredded cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce or Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wings Sauce
- ½ cup blue cheese or ranch dressing
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F and grab a 1-quart baking dish for your buffalo chicken dip adventure.
- Blend 8 oz softened cream cheese, ½ cup hot sauce, ½ cup dressing, and ½ cup crumbled cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in 2 cups shredded chicken, keeping the meat chunks intact for perfect texture.
- Optional: Sprinkle extra cheese on top to create a golden, crispy layer.
- Bake the dip for exactly 20 minutes at 350°F until the mixture bubbles and warms completely through.
- For an extra crispy top, broil the dip for 3-5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and let the dip rest for 2-3 minutes to settle its temperature.
- Serve immediately with a selection of chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
Notes
- Break the chicken into bite-sized pieces gently to keep some texture and prevent mushy consistency.
- Choose full-fat cream cheese for the richest, most creamy result that holds together perfectly.
- Experiment with different hot sauces like Sriracha or homemade buffalo sauce to customize the heat level for your crowd.
- Let the dip rest for 5 minutes after baking so the cheese sets and becomes easier to scoop with chips without falling apart.
