Inspired by the sheer greatness of Buffalo chicken wings, my easy Buffalo chicken dip recipe is spicy, tangy, salty, and (gasp!) very addictive. Buffalo chicken dip is the *perfect* appetizer for any gathering, but the Super Bowl just feels like the supreme setting for delightfully diving in with some chips or veggie sticks.
This easy Buffalo chicken dip recipe easily serves 8 to 10 people, so you can make it once and let everyone at it. Plus, you only really need 6 ingredients (the Buffalo sauce and chicken are crucial) and no more than 40 minutes to make it. Scroll for the full recipe!
Ingredients For My Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (I adore this pre-cooked shredded chicken from Target. It's such a time-saver! You could also use rotisserie chicken – yum.)
- 1 cup Buffalo sauce (The best buffalo sauces from my experience are the Primal Kitchen Non-Dairy Buffalo Sauce and the Noble Made Buffalo Dipping & Wing Sauce. They're both perfectly tangy and spicy.)
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened (I soften mine in the microwave for ~30 seconds.)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt + pepper, optional to taste
Serve with Ruffles, tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrots, or anything else you'd like!
If you have a larger crowd coming to your Super Bowl party, you may want to consider doubling this recipe or preparing additional appetizers to make sure there's enough food for everyone to chow down on.
Directions For This Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for ~30 minutes, or until the Buffalo chicken dip is hot and bubbly around the edges. Look out for browning on the top, too – that's the good stuff!
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven. Garnish with green onion.
- Serve the Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip hot with the dippers of your choice. It's also super yummy as cold leftovers, though there likely won't be any after you make this for friends and family!
