Creamy, spicy, and absolutely irresistible, this Buffalo Chicken Dip transforms everyone’s favorite wing flavors into the perfect party dip. It’s got all the bold buffalo heat and savory chicken you love, wrapped in a warm, cheesy blend that’ll have your guests coming back for more!
before you get started
- Soften the cream cheese! Let the cream cheese come to room temperature before starting – this prevents lumps and creates a silky smooth base for the buffalo chicken dip.
- Don’t skip the broiling step – it creates that gorgeous golden top that makes the buffalo chicken dip extra appetizing! Keep an eye on it though – it can go from perfect to burnt quickly under the broiler.
- To make a vegetarian buffalo dip, simply omit the shredded chicken. It will still have a lovely creamy, spicy flavor that everyone can enjoy!

Ingredients Needed
- Cream Cheese: Use full-fat block cream cheese at room temperature for the smoothest texture and best flavor!
- Chicken Broth: Adds a savory depth and extra moisture for a super creamy dip.
- Shredded Chicken: Rotisserie chicken works great, or prep some easy Instant Pot shredded chicken!
- Blue Cheese Crumbles: Opt for a medium-strength blue cheese that won’t be too overwhelming.
- Buffalo Sauce: Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Sauce is the classic choice, but any buffalo-style hot sauce works!
- Cheddar Cheese: Sharp cheddar adds the best flavor! I recommend shredding it freshly from a block of cheese if possible. It has the best, melty texture!
How to Make Buffalo Chicken Dip
- Melt the Cream Cheese: Add chicken broth and cream cheese to a medium saucepan and cook over medium high heat. Stir to melt the cream cheese. (I start out with a spoon then transfer to a whisk to remove any clumps.)
- Combine with Chicken, Cheese & Sauce: Add in blue cheese, buffalo sauce and shredded chicken to the saucepan. Stir until combined then transfer to a greased 9 x 9 inch baking dish.
- Add Shredded Cheese: Top with shredded cheddar and broil on high for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve & Enjoy: Serve immediately with sliced baguette and veggies for dipping!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make buffalo chicken dip ahead of time?
Yes! Prepare everything except the final broiling step. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, then heat in the oven and broil just before serving.
Can I use canned chicken for buffalo dip?
While freshly shredded chicken or rotisserie chicken is preferred, canned chicken will work in a pinch. Just be sure to drain it well.
what should i serve with this
I recommend serving this buffalo chicken dip recipe with all your favorite dippers like baguette slices, celery sticks, carrot sticks, cucumber slices, tortilla chips, crackers or pita chips!
If you are serving buffalo wing dip with a spread of other appetizers, try serving it with roasted garlic hummus, Greek phyllo bites, and air fryer potato skins!
