The BEST Buffalo Chicken Dip

Buffalo Chicken Dip is one of the best ever party snacks! Tender chunks of chicken in Buffalo sauce is combined with a creamy cream cheese base and of course loads of cheese.  This buffalo chicken dip is baked until golden and bubbly!

This is the first thing gone at every party, low carb and keto friendly (and everyone begs for the recipe)!

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Dip
Buffalo Chicken Dip is quick and easy to make and everyone loves it!

Combine chicken and buffalo sauce.
Mix cream cheese, sour cream and seasonings.
Stir in chicken, celery and cheese. Add toppings and bake.
This chicken wing dip starts with tender juicy chunks of chicken! You can use leftover cooked chicken or make easy poached chicken. Rotisserie chicken will also work great but in a pinch you can even use canned chicken.  Note: If you are using canned chicken, you’ll want to be extra gentle when mixing as the chicken can break apart quite easily. While some recipes use shredded chicken, I prefer the texture of the chopped chicken.

Like most dips (including my fave 5 Minute Taco Dip), cream cheese is the base of this recipe. Softened cream cheese makes for a better dip. (TIP: To soften cream cheese quickly, microwave it for about 15 seconds on high). Using a hand mixer for the base any cream cheese dip keeps it fluffy so it doesn’t break your tortilla chips for dipping! I add 3/4 cup sour cream to this recipe, feel free to replace it with Ranch dressing or even Blue Cheese dressing if you’d prefer.

Finally we add in some seasonings, I chose both green onion and garlic powder (in place of white onion and fresh garlic) as the flavors are a bit milder and blend well in this recipe. We spread this into a pan and bake until bubbly and melty…. so incredibly good!
