Ingredients in Buffalo Chicken Dip

  • Chicken - I like to use baked, poached or rotisserie chicken in mine. This recipe doesn't include the time it takes to cook the chicken so you can cook it any way you like and then shred it for this recipe. you can even use leftover chicken too. Some recipes call for using canned chicken - if that works better for you that is fine too - approx 2 cans will work here drained and shredded. If you prefer more protein in yours feel free to add up to 1 more cup of shredded chicken, you may have to adjust the wing sauce amount by a little
  • Cream cheese - I use full fat but feel free to use low fat if you wish. Room temperature recommended
  • Sour cream, Garlic & Fresh Herbs - many version of this dip use Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing but I like to sort of add my own ranch flavours thus the combination of sour cream and garlic and fresh herbs. Sometimes I like to sauté a shallot or small onion in with the garlic too. If you prefer a shortcut method just substitute them for one of the dressings ranch or blue cheese and you can even use garlic powder too.
  • Hot sauce - my favourites to use are either Frank's Redhot or cholulua because they give you a classic buffalo chicken wing flavour - if you prefer a different brand feel free to use that instead. To make this dip a keto buffalo chicken dip all you have to do is make sure your buffalo hot sauce or wing sauce is keto.
  • Green onions or Chives - adds loads of fresh flavour. I like to stir half of them into the dip and sprinkle the rest on top
  • Shredded cheese - I like to use a combination of yellow cheddar and white cheddar but feel free to use one or the other or for more gooeyness feel free to substitute the white cheddar mozzarella cheese
  • Blue Cheese - we love blue cheese in our house so I like to sprinkle some over the dip right before it goes in the oven and serve it with more after its baked. The is optional just like when you order buffalo chicken wings - you can take them with or without the blue cheese dip. What I will say is that if you decide to use the blue cheese dressing in the recipe I would reduce or eliminate the actual blue cheese in the recipe unless you are really a fan of blue cheese flavor otherwise it will be a bit overkill

Recipe tips for the best BCD buffalo chicken dip:

  • What chicken should I use? Buffalo chicken dip can be made using shredded poached chicken, baked chicken either breast or thighs, rotisserie chicken, or even leftover chicken or turkey. Anything works. You could even use canned chicken (as a last resort). Save time and use pre-cooked chicken (you will need 2 cups) or cook your chicken ahead of time that. is what I like to do especially when I'm making this for company - it saves time the day of.
  • If your cream cheese is fresh out of the refrigerator, (I sometimes forget to take it out of the fridge) transfer it to a microwave-safe bowl and warm in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to get it to room temperature

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Dip

Make this easy chicken buffalo dip by following these simple step-by-step instructions:

  1. Cook the chicken if needed and then shred - I like to use leftover chicken or rotisserie. In the meantime, preheat your oven to 375F
  2. Make your creamy buffalo ranch sauce - Start by sautéing garlic in butter in a medium size skillet. Add the shredded chicken and buffalo hot sauce to pan and simmer for a minute to reduce.
  3. Combine - add the cream cheese and stir until smooth and combined then off the heat stir in sour cream, cheddar cheese reserving some to top, half the green onions and the fresh herbs.
  4. Bake - top with remaining Cheddar cheese, blue cheese if using and green onions then transfer skillet to oven and bake until bubbling. ( or transfer to a greased baking dish and bake in there instead)
  5. Serve - serve topped with more blue cheese if you like and more chopped green onions and with your favourite things to dip into this dip - veggies, tortilla chips, crackers or kettle chips. For a low carbs snack stick to serving this dip with sliced veggies.
