A creamy, spicy, and cheesy buffalo chicken dip that combines shredded rotisserie chicken with sharp cheddar and tangy blue cheese, perfect for game nights and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 300g)
  • 3/4 cup bottled buffalo wing sauce (about 6 fl oz / 180ml)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (4 fl oz / 120ml)
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing (2 fl oz / 60ml)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 100g)
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles (about 75g)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese. If needed, microwave for 15-20 seconds until spreadable but not melted.
  3. Add sour cream and ranch dressing to the cream cheese and blend until smooth and creamy using a mixer or whisk, about 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly mixed.
  5. Fold in shredded chicken, shredded cheddar, and blue cheese crumbles gently to keep some cheese chunks intact.
  6. Transfer the mixture to an 8×8 inch baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly around the edges and slightly golden on top.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to set.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired and serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or crackers.

Notes

Do not overmix the chicken and cheeses to keep texture. Let dip rest after baking to thicken for easier scooping. Use fresh shredded cheddar for better melting. Adjust buffalo sauce to taste for spice level. Can prepare a day ahead and bake before serving.
