I am going to confess that I made this recipe this past summer while the sun was shining to finally get photos to share. I always make it during the winter and find that Spokane weather is not the best for happy photos.
My husband came home and was so excited to see this buffalo ranch chicken dip sitting waiting for him. I ended up having to take photos quickly so he didn't dive into it before I was done.
This can also be made in the crockpot if you are looking to pre-make it before an event.
Serve with corn chips, tortilla chips, celery sticks and carrot sticks, bell pepper strips, toasted bread, pita chips
Optional - Top with blue cheese crumbles, green onions
Chicken - We use a Costco rotisserie chicken that we cut up. You can also use slow cooker shredded chicken breast or canned chicken. Any of these options work great.
Cream Cheese - Make sure to use a block form of cream cheese and not the spreadable cream cheese. Full-fat block cream cheese works best. Low fat cream cheese can separate.
Ranch Dressing - This cools down the heat from the hot sauce and adds an epic flavor. You can also use blue cheese dressing if you prefer that flavor.
Cheese - You can use sharp or medium cheddar cheese, white cheddar, Colby-jack, tex-mex really any cheese you love that is shredded and melts easily.
Large Mixing Bowl - We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It makes it easy to mix ingredients and keeps the mixing bowl steady on the counter.
9X13 Casserole Dish/baking dish
Make sure to preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Step 1 - Cut chicken pieces off of rotisserie chicken or use crockpot shredded chicken.
Step 2 - Melt cream cheese and ranch dressing in microwave in a large bowl, mix together. Add in chopped chicken and mix well.
Step 3 - Spread cream cheese ranch chicken mixture in the bottom of a large casserole dish.
Step 4 - Cover chicken mixture with Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce evenly.
Step 5 - Cover with shredded cheddar cheese evenly spread out. Feel free to add more cheese on top if you want it super cheesy.
Bake until hot and bubbly.
This make a large casserole dish of Franks buffalo chicken dip. If you don't need a ton of dip you can half this recipe. If you are having a large party you can double the recipe and spread it in 2 casserole dishes.
We bake this in layers but you can stir it all together and bake together if you prefer.
You can freeze buffalo chicken dip in an airtight container. Reheat in the microwave and stir before serving.
We have not tried freezing buffalo chicken dip but have heard from readers that it works great.
I have also heard that the texture changes and is not as creamy as when it is fresh baked. I would say it is up to you if you want to try freezing it.
We serve Franks Red Hot buffalo chicken dip with tortilla chips, corn chips, celery and carrot sticks. You can serve it with any sturdy cracker or chip that will not break holding the epic cheesy chicken goodness.
It is also great with sliced red bell peppers.
