Buffalo Chicken Dip
Buffalo Chicken Dip
This Buffalo Chicken Dip bakes shredded chicken and tangy buffalo hot sauce into a rich cream cheese base, topped with melted cheddar and mozzarella until bubbly and golden. The balance between creamy, tangy, and spicy is what makes this dip such a reliable crowd pleaser, and it comes together with just a handful of pantry staples and rotisserie chicken. It is exactly the kind of dish that disappears from the table before you even get seconds.
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in dressing and hot sauce.
- Fold in shredded chicken and half the cheddar.
- Spread into a greased 8x8 baking dish.
- Top with remaining cheddar and mozzarella.
- Bake at 375°F for 18 to 20 minutes until bubbly.
- Garnish with green onions and serve warm with dippers.
Taste your hot sauce before mixing it in; brands vary widely in heat, so it is easier to add more than to tone down an overly spicy batch.
Notes
- Fully soften the cream cheese before mixing to avoid a lumpy dip.
- Bake until the edges bubble and the top turns lightly golden for the best texture.
- Serve warm, since the dip thickens noticeably as it cools.
- An 8x8 inch baking dish gives the dip enough surface area to bake evenly without spreading too thin.
