Buffalo chicken dip is a combination of:

  • chicken
  • cream cheese
  • buffalo sauce
  • ranch dressing
  • cheddar cheese

You’ll want the chicken to be cooked evenly and moist enough to shred easily. I wouldn’t normally boil chicken, but in this case it works best. After that’s done you can decide how you’re going to prepare the dip.

Variations on Buffalo Chicken Dip & Spice

If you want to experiment, there are a couple tweaks to the recipe you can try out. First, you can swap out the ranch dressing for blue cheese or top with blue cheese crumbles. This is a great option, but not everyone loves blue cheese, so know your audience.

Another option is varying the spice. This is by no means spicy for my taste, but some people are more sensitive to spice. To tame it down a bit just add less buffalo sauce or sometimes you can find a mild sauce.

Choose Your Cooking Method

The recipe I’m suggesting involves using a crockpot on low for a couple hours to cook the dip. This is an easy set it and forget it way to make the dip. Then you can transport it somewhere and just plug it back in to stay warm. If you don’t have the time to let the crockpot do it’s thing you can try baking it. Put the ingredients in a baking dish and cook for about 20-25 min at 350 degrees.

Buffalo Chicken Dip Side Options

There are tons of things that go great with buffalo chicken dip. It’s got a lot of flavor so I’d stick to things that have simple flavors. Some of my favorites are:

  • tortilla chips
  • celery sticks
  • carrots
  • cauliflower
  • baguettes / bread

This dip is definitely not healthy but it’s a nice way to get some veggies in the mix when eating apps. It makes anything taste incredible. If you have any other great ideas to scoop up this dip with feel free to leave them in the comments.
