I’m publicly saying a big ol’ thank you to whomever may have discovered that the buffalo sauce and chicken combo was a delicious one. There really isn’t much that’s better when it comes to enjoying a zingy comfort food.
Dan and I first made this dip what seems like an eternity ago. We made it for parties a lot and uh, consumed it on our own, too. It is a super easy appetizer, party food or indulgent weekend snack.
Did I mention it only requires FOUR ingredients? I know, seriously. You’ve gotta make this one pronto.
WHY EASY BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP
Buffalo chicken wings are so delicious. They are a perfect finger food and are finger lickin’ good. They are a great snack or meal depending on your love of buffalo wings. But there’s a lot of work for little payoff.
So this Chicken Buffalo Dip is the perfect answer = no bones + less work to get at the chicken = buffalo chicken dip perfection.

HOW TO MAKE EASY BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP
A party classic, this is great for a super bowl party or a girls/guys night because there’s minimal work!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a round baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine:
- Meat from 1 Rotisserie chicken, shredded (approximately 2 cups)
- 8-oz. package cream cheese, softened and cut into pieces
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup buffalo wing sauce (something like Frank’s works great)
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with an additional 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden on top, hot and bubbly.
RECIPE NOTES FOR EASY BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP
- Don’t have rotisserie chicken? Chicken breasts turn out great with this Perfect Instant Pot Chicken Breasts recipe- then you can shred your own chicken.
- Shred your own cheese – it tastes better, it melts better, it’s just better.
- Frank’s Red Hot Sauce tastes great for your buffalo sauce.
- Sprinkle some thinly sliced green onions on top.
- Some people like to have ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing and/or blue cheese crumbles on the side to dip your chips and dip into.

Overall a good recipe. The only thing I might adjust is a little less sauce, or a little more cream cheese. I found this to be a little more thin and slightly hotter than other buffalo chicken dips that I’ve had.Reply

just saying, but what about turning this into a taco stuffing? You might have to cut back on the cream cheese to make it chunkier, but I think this could revolutionize the taco world!
