This zesty, easy Buffalo Chicken Dip comes together using only 4 ingredients. You’ll WOW everyone with this delicious hot dip at your next party!
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.
Hi Abbey, Thank you for trying the recipe and your feedback. I’m sure others will consider that as they prepare it how they enjoy it too.
Making this for Christmas eve dinner tonight!! Yum!
AMYL: I have the servings listed as 12-16. It makes a decent sized bowl and is a great size for a party. Hope this helps!

How many does this recipe feed?
Jeff, I agree! That would be absolutely fantastic!
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!
