This creamy, spicy, and tangy buffalo chicken dip is the ultimate comfort food, perfect for game day or any gathering. With hand-shredded chicken, melted blue cheese crumbles, and a silky cream cheese base, it’s a crowd-pleaser that even blue cheese skeptics will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (preferably Frank’s RedHot Original)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (white or yellow)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (preferably from a block, crumbled by hand)
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Soften the cream cheese: If not at room temperature, microwave in 10-second bursts until soft but not melted.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
  4. Fold in the shredded chicken, ensuring every piece is coated.
  5. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder. Add black pepper and mix well.
  6. Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese, leaving distinct pockets of blue cheese throughout the dip.
  7. Transfer the mixture to an 8×8 inch baking dish and spread into an even layer.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until hot and bubbly around the edges. For a golden top, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sliced green onions.

Notes

For best texture, hand-shred the chicken and crumble blue cheese from a block. Do not overmix the blue cheese to keep distinct pockets. The dip can be assembled ahead and refrigerated; add 5-10 minutes to baking time if starting cold. For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt instead of ranch dressing.
