Heat Chicken and Hot Sauce: Add cooked chicken and hot sauce to a saucepan over medium heat.
Add Cream Cheese and Ranch: Cook, stirring until well blended and warm.
Serve: This buffalo chicken dip can be served with crusty bread (or even inside an artisan loaf similar to serving soup inside a bread bowl), celery sticks, veggies, crackers, pita bread or whatever you’d like to dip in it.
Make Ahead Instructions:
To Make Ahead: the dip will keep well stored in the fridge for 1-3 days, depending on the freshness of your chicken. Reheat on the stove, or in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds.
Recipe Variations:
- Spicy or Mild: Choose mild to extra-hot brands of Franks hot buffalo sauce to adjust the heat level.
- Crockpot: Add all ingredients to the slow cooker. Mix well and cook on low for 2 hours.
- Oven: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and pour mixture into a 8×8 baking dish. Top with shredded cheese, if desired and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.

My husband loves this dip! It’s perfect for a party!
This was a BIG hit at our super bowl party!
I use a rotisserie chicken (one per 8 oz cream cheese) that you can get cooked already in the deli section of your grocery or even Walmart. It adds another dimension of flavor and really breaks up well to give the dip a great texture. Just get the chicken(s) and allow to cool then pull the meat off the bones! I also toss in a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. This is a huge hit among the kids and adults and I usually get request just about every weekend! We serve with tortilla chips.
This sounds so good! Definitely need to make some, thanks for sharing your recipe!
