The Best Buffalo Chicken Dip for an Epic Game Day Party
This Buffalo Chicken Dip recipe is an easy classic that features three different layers of flavors including chicken mixed with your favorite hot sauce (I always go for Frank’s RedHot!), cream cheese, ranch dressing and, of course, lots of cheese!
One of my oldest, best friends, Beth, definitely qualifies as a genius.
Many years ago, a couple of days before Christmas, she invited a bunch of girlfriends over for a “dip party”. It’s absolutely as awesome as it sounds. Everyone brings their favorite dip along with the recipe to share. Seriously brilliant.
A small group of us sat around her kitchen island with bowls and plates of dip in front of us, sampling them all and chatting. It was such a great idea and a wonderful, low-key way for a bunch of girls to share some favorite recipes, hang out and, of course, eat.
One of the stars of the show that night was this buffalo chicken dip.
While I love wings, I always lean towards flavors like honey barbecue, teriyaki or garlic parmesan. I’ve never been a big fan of the buffalo/hot sauce flavor so I was never compelled to make (or even try!) this dip.
Well, this is one of the dips that Beth contributed to her party and when I tried it for the first time, I loved it! I was sold immediately and had to have the recipe.
The combination of the hot sauce with cream cheese, ranch and all that cheese was just phenomenal. Plus, it’s EASY!
How To Make Buffalo Chicken Dip
There are three simple steps to getting this buffalo chicken dip ready for the oven:
- Combine shredded chicken with a bottle of hot sauce. Spread in a baking pan.
- On the stove, melt together cream cheese and a bottle of ranch dressing. Pour over the hot sauce-infused chicken.
- Spread a combination of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the top and pop it in the oven!
That’s all there is to it!
Recipe Notes:
- The Chicken – The original recipe calls for boiling and shredding fresh chicken breasts, however you can substitute canned chicken or use a rotisserie chicken to significantly cut down on prep time.
- The Hot Sauce – Use your favorite, but Frank’s RedHot is always my go-to!
- The Ranch Dressing – Many buffalo purists will not agree with using ranch dressing (I use Hidden Valley Ranch, by the way), and you can absolutely use blue cheese instead if you’d like.
- The Layers – This dip was originally written as a layered dip, but you can stir everything together before baking if you’d prefer. Some reviewers have mentioned that the layer of cheese on top is too thick and while I haven’t had that issue, it would be just as delicious with everything mixed together!
- Make Ahead – Prepare the dip up to one day in advance, cover and refrigerate. Add 5 to 10 minutes of cooking time when ready to bake.
- Crockpot Option – You can make this dip in the crock pot by adding all of the ingredients (cube the cream cheese), stirring, and cooking on low for 4 to 6 hours, stirring once or twice during the cooking process.
If you’ve never made it before, buffalo chicken dip deserves a spot in your party recipe repertoire. Everyone goes NUTS over it! It’s especially great for an afternoon or evening of football watching, or a New Year’s Eve party.
I made this a few weeks ago as an appetizer for Sunday dinner, and at the end of the day the pan was empty and the chip bowl only had crumbs left.
A total must-make!

-
4
boneless skinless chicken breasts
(boiled and shredded)
-
12
ounce
bottle hot sauce
-
16
ounces
cream cheese
-
16
ounce
bottle ranch dressing
-
6
ounces
Monterey Jack cheese
(shredded (about 1Ā½ cups))
-
6
ounces
cheddar cheese
(shredded (about 1Ā½ cups))
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
In a medium bowl, stir togetherĀ the chicken with the bottle of hot sauce and spread in the bottom of a 3-quart baking dish.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the cream cheese and the ranch dressing over low heat until the cream cheese is completely melted and smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken.Ā Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the cream cheese/ranch layer.
-
Bake uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, or until bubbling and browned on top. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with celery sticks, other vegetables, tortilla chips or crackers.
- You can substitute four (12.5-ounce) cans of cooked chicken, drained, for the chicken breasts.
- You can also substitute shredded rotisserie chicken (5 to 6 cups of shredded chicken).
- I recommend Frank's RedHot sauce.
- I recommend Hidden Valley Ranch dressing.
- You can substitute blue cheese for all of the ranch (or half of it).
- Instead of layering the dip, you can mix everything together.
- You can make this dip in a crock pot by adding all of the ingredients (cube the cream cheese), stirring, and cooking on low for 4 to 6 hours, stirring once or twice during the cooking process.
- This can be prepared a day in advance, just cover and refrigerate overnight. You may need to add 5 or 10 minutes to the baking time.

Wonderful superbowl snack!
I just wanted to say thank you for this blog! I am super excited for some of your new recipes! When I get my own cooking blog up and going, I will let you know some of our fun recipes also!
Made this tonight such an amazing recipe. Even my 10 years old loved it! Thank you for sharing!
I use basically the same ingredients but slight variation I use kens kbuttermilk ranch Dressing or I make my own, a mix of white cheddar sharp cheddar and mild cheddar and then I use the franks redhot Ā hot buffalo wing Ā sauce Ā and they also have a Ā franks redhot wing sauce . The wing sauce has a different flavor to the regular franks RedHot non wing sauce
Delish for any day, you don’t need a holiday to enjoy this dip and you’d be surprised how many people stop over when you say you’re making it I tell him bring your own things to dip
Too hot!!
I’ve been making a version of this recipe for years! The only thing I do is add blue cheese crumbles to the ranch/cream cheese mixture. It has never failed to be a hit. I’m getting ready to put it in the oven as we speak for a work luncheon. Thanks for posting!
Awesome. None left.
I recently added a head of cut up bite sized roasted cauliflower and green scallions to this and it was amazing!
This is looks so delicious and presentable. I’ll definitely try this. Maybe I will share some to my friends in Hawthorn Restaurants. Hope I can get the perfect blend because they’re thinking that I don’t know how to cook.
This recipe was quite good, but it made so much, with a party of 20 people each bringing an appetizer, I brought half of it home. I mixed the chicken and hot sauce, added the cream cheese that had been melted with ranch dressing, but put the shredded cheese on top. That makes a heavy layer to dip through. Next time I will mix it all and then bake.
I love this recipe. I swap the Hidden Valley ranch with Kens Steakhouse ranch. Itās my absolute favorite dressing and makes this dip for me.Ā
How big of a crockpot would I need to make it that way?
This is a favorite dip for us – perfect for just about any occasion!
This is sooooooo good. We love it. I don’t even need chips, just give me a spoon and I am a very happy woman.
Absolutely our favorite classic dip!! Always gets ate up, no waste.
I love the crock pot version of this dip! The hit of any party!
I love everything about this recipe!
Thanks for the mouthwatering recipe! My whole family loved it!!
There’s so many layers of goodness in this dip. Love it for Game Day!Ā
This dip is so cheesy and good! Great for entertaining!
This is truly the ultimate game day dip! The cheesy goodness is amazing!Ā
This is a favorite at every party we attend. Always a staples and the first to go! YUM!
I made this for a game night a few months ago, HUGE hit. I am always looking for way to make things early and easy. The night before I prep and mixed everything together including most of the cheese. Day of I put the dip in the cast iron and put the remaining cheese on top and baked. No fuss, no mess and everyone loved it, including my friends daughter who doesn’t like Buffalo wings. My husband keeps asking when I will make it again!
I think I’ve found my new favorite dip. Thanks.
oh the buffalo dip is amazing
Recipe sounds delicious! Tried to copy/paste it along with link into an email to my best friend in the UK & it absolutely would not let me copy link, recipe, nothing. I ended up painfully copying a line at a time by hand, then re-writing it into an email. Would you please elucidate as to how I might do this more efficiently for her for future recipes?
On a side note, she is visually impaired & no longer looks at computers much anymore. I can send emails she uses a huge font to view, so that is why the copy function interests me.
Thanks,
MG
Hmmm you should be able to easily copy the link and paste into an email. Or you can clicke the “Email” button on the left side or bottom of the recipe. I hope that helps!
When you say you can prepare it a day an advance do you just do everything it says cover it and put it the fridge and wait the next day bake it?
Hi Sam, Yes exactly!
I just made this & it was great! I have a 6 year old & a 4 year old who have never tried anything like this in their lives…and they loved it! What?!? š I had a small amount of cooked, shredded chicken leftover from making chicken salad on Memorial Day. I stuck it in the freezer, not knowing what I would ever do with it. I saw this recipe today & I was like, yes!! I’ll make this! I defrosted the chicken just a little but in the microwave first, then mixed it with Sweet Baby Ray’s buffalo sauce. Listen, I love blue cheese. I mean, I LOVE IT. I’m not generally a huge fan of ranch, but I had some on hand & that’s what the recipe called for. I didn’t measure the cream cheese and/or ranch dressing, I just dumped it in. It was perfect! Thanks for a good, easy recipe that all my kids liked. š #winning
What is the serving size for this please?Ā
Hi Ashley, 10 to 12 servings (see the “yield” section of the recipe box above).
Tried this dip over the weekend and it is FAB!!! I also want/need to host a dip party. Love your site! Just moved to Pittsburgh from Charlotte, NC. I am already bewitched by the ‘Burgh!
Hi Ashley, I’m glad you liked the dip and welcome to Pittsburgh!! I hope you continue to enjoy the city! xo
Would mozzarella work in lieu of Monterey Jack? I have a ton of mozz, but no jack…
Hi Adrianne, Yes mozzarella should work just fine!
It was wonderful. Ā My husband wants me to to figure out how to make a pasta Ā receipe out of it!
Hi! This sounds so yummy and itās my first time making it! Ā Do yāall use Franks Red Hot Original OR Franks Wing sauce (aka buffalo flavor)? Thanks so much!
Hi Amanda! I use the Frank’s Red Hot Original. Enjoy! :)
You mentioned using the Hidden Valley Ranch Packet in place of the Ranch, so just to clarify, you just mix the ranch powder into the cream cheese? Does it still need to be cooked on the stove before going onto the oven?
Hi Samantha, Hmmm there might be some confusion because I’ve never used a ranch seasoning packet. I mentioned using the actual Hidden Valley Ranch dressing (from a bottle).
This is such and easy and good dip. Our family loves it. Thank you!
Hi Michele;
Is it okay to cut down the hot sauce by a half a bottle instead> I cannot eat real spicy or hot foods?
Hi Laura, I think that would work just fine. Enjoy!
If making in a crock pot, would you just add all the ingredients & cook for some many hours?
Hi Debra, Yes, that would certainly work!
This is WAYYYY to saucy! Ā Total let down. Ā The cheese Ā on top just became a hard mess too. Ā Ick
Iām going to have to try this one. Iāve made buffalo chicken dip before, but this sounds so much better than the one I typically make. And maybe Iām crazy, but I like to do half ranch dressing and half blue cheese dressing. I like to not tell people and then they wonder about that extra flavor it adds.
Fixed this for Thanksgiving as something different! Ā The WHOLE FAMILY LOVED IT! Ā Even those who donāt usually like slightly spicy foods!Ā
Love love love it…..I used bleu cheese …fantastic!

Made this for a birthday party it was so good easy to make and gone so fastĀ
If I am preparing this ahead of time should I bake it then refrigerate it or wait to bake it until right before I serve it?
I would assemble, refrigerate, then bake.
Fabulous recile. Leftovers (if there are any!) make incredible grilled cheese sandwiches.
OMG, I love that grilled cheese idea! Genius!
OMG. LISTEN, I’VE MADE THIS MANY MANY TIMES. IT’S AS IMPORTANT HERE AS MILK AND TP!!!
BUT…. CRAZY US….WE RECENTLY PUT IN CUT IN HALF, JALAPENOS, THE ONES IN THE JAR!!!
OMG!!! All those times we ate it naked, without jalapenos. HOW SAD!!! NOW, IT’S PERFECTION.
A LITTLE BIT SPICY, BUT NOT HOT….YUM
Can I make this and freeze and then take out a day before and bake next weekend? Do you shred your own cheese or buy shredded?
Hi Carolyn, I’ve never tried freezing this, so I couldn’t say for sure how the textures would take to freezing/thawing. I shred my own cheese, always, unless it’s for tacos, then I buy the pre-shredded :)
Thanks Michelle….I finished the German Chocolate Cake last night and I will send pictures after our get together today! Fingers crossed!
Mmmmm, I’d want to eat this with a spoon! Ā Interested that so many people have said they would do it with blue cheese…I love it and it makes a nice flavour contrast with the hot sauce, the creaminess of the cream cheese and the richness of the other cheeses. Ā Yum!
I’ve got a similar recipe that I got from my best friend. The one thing I do to mine is that I do half ranch dressing and half bleu cheese dressing. My friend did it because she didn’t have enough ranch and supplemented it with the bleu cheese. It’s my preference because I think it cuts down on the kick from the hot sauce a little more. I made it once for a New Year’s party at another friend’s house 4 years ago and her husband still raves about it.
I love Buffalo chicken dip, but I absolutely hate blue cheese. This looks fantastic, and would be great with ranch versus the blue cheese. I also like that you use “real” chicken and not the canned chicken. This recipe will definitely go into my dip/appetizer rotation. Thanks for another fab recipe.
This is such a great recipe. I made it for a Super Bowl party this year, and served it with cut up veggies. I Ā use blue cheese salad dressing, but I know a lot of people don’t care for blue cheese. Ā I had some left over and would eat it for Ā dinner with a big bowl of veggies. So, so good! You always post the best recipes, and I have made many of them over the years.Ā
Hi Michelle. Wanted to say thank you for recently posting a recipe for Boston Cream Pie. Baked it this weekend for my daughter’s birthday. Oh. My. Word. What a hit. The yellow cake was so moist & fluffy. (I whipped the yolks separately then folded in the whites). The pastry cream & chocolate ganache topping were perfect additions to cake. Thanks for a keeper!
This is a staple at all of my parties and get togethers. I change it up by using different hot sauces (Quaker Steak and Lube’s Louisiana Lickers is my fave), sometimes adding crumbled bleu cheese, or dumping the whole thing into my crock pot so it stays nice and melted for hours. It’s always the first dip to go.
I have made this before using other recipes, but this is the only one I’ll ever make again. It is perfect!! I bought rye chips for dipping, and YUMMM!! Thank you!! ????
I’m making this immediately! Thanks :)
Made this with great success, but is there a way to prevent the cheddar from becoming too hard on top (after it’s baked and too late to mix in)?
Hi Cathy, As you can see, I didn’t really have a hard layer of cheese on my dip, but you could always stir the cheese into the mixture before baking so it’s mixed in throughout, instead of just being on top.
I just made this dip for New Year’s Eve and it was a hit! Thanks for the great recipe :)
I like to use Tabasco buffalo sauce…or franks red hot buffalo. Try it.
I make this all the time – I use blue cheese dressing instead of ranch, and add some crumbled blue cheese in the mixture.. on super bowl, I accidentally picked up smoked blue cheese to crumble – and it was over the top – SOOOO delicious!This is also great if you are on a low carb diet – I add some of the dip to romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, some chopped celery – no further dressing is needed – it is delicious!OH – I’ve used canned chicken and that works – I’ve also gotten rotisserie chicken and shredded that as it is super easy too.
Love this dip! I’m making it right now! I’ve made it many times following the recipe exactly as posted and it is always a huge hit. I’ve passed on the link to many people and everyone raves about it. Love all of your recipes!
I’m making this to take to my friend’s house this Sunday! I’ll let you know how it turns out!
Going to make this tomorrow night, thanks for sharing. P.s laughing so hard at the buffalo dip police comments. Some people really need help! Lol!
I am making this dip right now but my question is: I don’t need to serve this dish until this evening and I have already prepared it except for baking it. Should I wait until I get to the party to pop it in the oven for 30 minutes or should I go ahead and cook it now and just heat it up later? Want to make sure it is done right. Trying to impress the boyfriend’s family. :)
Hi Evan, You could do it either way since you’ll need to heat it before eating anyway. I’d just wait to do it there, saves you doing it twice! Enjoy!
Featured this in my Food Trends article today, looks delicious! http://www.recipelionblog.com/food-trend-buffalo-chicken-recipes/
My boys loved this one!
The recipes just keep getting better. Wow, this was such a great recipe to try. I understand what you meant when you said usually you just eat honey barbecue or teriyaki. Sometimes the taste of the hot sauce on buffalo wings can be a little over whelming. This recipe was just right and I love cheese, so it was perfectly the right amount of each ingredient. Thanks for sharing!
If you search for crack dip, this is what comes up :) I like this dip, but for a muuuch lighter version I just mix cream cheese w/ the buffalo sauce. Not as fancypancy as this recipe but ppl love it and always ask where I found the dip :)
Years ago, my friend Laura made this dip knowing I would be at the party. I am known to be quite a chile-head, something I had in common with her husband. I was blown away by the dip so next time she came to my house she brought me the recipe. I have made it a couple of times since. I love it. It is always a hit when I make it. My husband is a huge buffalo wing fan and he loves it too. I usually make two kinds – one mild and one hot.
Did you say dip party? Count me in. I love ’em. In fact, I’m trying to get the idea to catch on among food bloggers. The next time I host a weekly Dipstock I’ll let you know.
Oh, and buffalo chicken dip is the best. A serious crowd pleaser.
So I saw the picture of this and thought it would be great for the upcoming Superbowl party I was going to – it was good, but I have a couple of things I’ll do differently next time I make this dish:
1. I won’t double the recipe – not necessary because it’s so rich (even when using light things!!) people don’t eat too much of it.
2. I would like to try stirring the cheese throughout the dip instead of just putting it on top – I ended up getting a thick layer of cheddar cheese that I had to pull off because I left it in the oven for the extra couple of minutes – if I had pulled it out at the 30 minute mark might have been better.
3. I won’t use real chicken breasts because:
a. It was pretty time consuming to cook the chicken breasts and shred them – I had to get the husband involved in the shredding process because shredding 8 chicken breasts (even 4 for that matter) really works the arms!! :)
b. I’ll use canned chicken because I don’t think people will be able to tell the difference after what’s gone into the recipe – delicious – don’t get me wrong!, and because I will be serving this to people that are drinking and paying more attention to the game on TV or to other sports related discussions or to their cards. :)
Got good reviews from people and will definitely make again.
I made this dip for my boyfriends family party and now I have to bring it to every family party. HAHA THEY LOVE IT! I even blogged about it :)http://yvettelovespinkcupcakes.blogspot.com/2010/09/buffalo-chicken-dip.html
I definitely need to make this, my hubs loooooves buffalo chicken. He’d love this dip!
A dip party sounds like the best thing ever. Your friend is a genius! I’m going to be making this soon and I WILL have a dip party!
Holy Cow!!! Made this dip as a last minute addition to our Super Bowl Party menu, so glad!! This is seriously delicious :)
I made this for the Superbowl and it was a huge hit! I’m thinking the leftovers (and there were only leftovers because I made way too much food ;)) will be great on a baked potato for dinner tonight. I put the chicken, hot sauce, cream cheese, and blue cheese dressing (my preference) in the crockpot and cooked it on low for ~6-7 hours. I mixed it up, shredded the chicken, and put it in a casserole dish and topped it with cheese. Super easy!
Made this for the Super Bowl today! Future hubby and I both LOVED it! It’s funny, he absolutely hates ranch AND cream cheese, but together is totally different. Neither one of us could put this dip down!
Your recipe inspired me to make a version of my own today for the Superbowl!
Looks delish! I’ll be tryin this one out today! Just found ts website today btw and love it!
This looks spool good! I cannot wait to try it!
This looks amaaaaazing and I am totally going to both make it AND have a dip party! Rock on!
I make this with sour cream and blue cheese crumbles – 1 cup sour cream and throw in a container of blue cheese…the best!!
oh man, my friend made this for a big party that we cooked for over last summer. it was a TREMENDOUS hit. i love that it’s so easy!
I host a similar party with my friends every year we call it ” Dip into Christmas” We look forward to it every year, and a version of this dip is always there!
This is one of my all time favorites! And, a dip party? Pure genius!
This looks amazing. What hot sauce would you recommend using?
Hi Rachel – I use Frank’s hot sauce.
Um, yes please? I would like some of this dip. It’s now on the menu for a get-together I’m having this weekend. :D
Also – GO PENS!!! (From a fan in St. Louis)
Lisa
Yay, GO PENS! I’m going to the game tonight :)
OMG, goalie fight! >_< My husband and I were watching on TV and our jaws dropped when we saw Johnson coming across the ice, and then DePietro (?) dropping his gloves too. Best game I've seen in a while, just for that. Lucky you, actually being there! :)
Honestly, that was one of the best hockey moments I have seen live. It was insane, the crowd went nuts. They fought right in front of our section. I was watching the scrum and then saw Johnny come flying down the ice. One punch knockout? Pure awesomeness.
Wow, one punch knockout is being praised? Ā Here in Oz it’s now against the law and there are advertising campaigns warning against it. Ā I know hockey is a sport prone to fights (I grew up in Canada) but this acceptance of it normalises it and makes it seem OK. Ā I’m not sure this is the best example or best message to send to young people.
My husband makes a very similar dip and it’s divine!!! Will definitely be making it this weekend :)
Ok, I could dive right in and not come out until it was all gone! YUM! I have a favorite brand of garlic wing sauce that is whispering to me … “Use me in this … do it!” I just may!
Ahhh, the quintessential western Pa dip! I love it!
I am a sucker for dips – wish I was at that party with you! Your dip sounds really good – would go really good with those pretzels I am planning to make for game day :).
OMG i know a similar recipe that uses Blue Cheese Dressing but basically it is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! Yours looks fantastic as well, I absolutely love it, for anyone hesitant to try this out: throw caution to the wind and do it!
Love the idea of a dip party! How fun!
I love this dip and I always eat too much of it. Guess that’s what treadmills are for!
They serve this at Pearl Street Grill in Buffalo and it’s my favorite appetizer! Yum! Ranch sounds like a good choice, because that much blue cheese would be super overpowering. I like this recipe!
This looks so good! Like ridiculously good!
Oooh, this looks delish! I just made buffalo wings the other day, but I’ll have to try this soon. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.
Allrecipes has a modification of this dip for sandwiches made in the crock pot. If you love the dip, try the sandwiches! it’s a a great potluck dish and easy to make!

It’s not Buffalo Dip if the hot sauce is anything but Frank’s. Ranch is NEVER acceptable for Buffalo anything, only blue cheese dressing. Likewise, no cheese of any kind allowed but blue. This isn’t buffalo chicken dip. It’s a sorry wannabe.
I’ve actually been to a lot of wing places and restaurants that serve buffalo chicken wraps with ranch dressing and cheddar cheese. And most places serve wings with a side of blue and ranch. I think it’s personal preference; a lot of people don’t like blue cheese (and actually, my sister is allergic to it).
It doesn’t matter what they serve them with, or what they call it when they serve it wrong, it’s still not “Buffalo Chicken” anything. And as for allergies, the blue cheese can be left off, but never, ever, substituted.
RELAX,RELAX!!! I didn’t hear anyone say this is a true authentic wing dip! Just a fun thing to enjoy and have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tomatoe Tomato, I didn’t know there was an actual “Buffalo Dip” Police or guidelines.
Michelle- thank you for the recipe. I made it for the game and it was a big hit! No one cared that it did not contain Blue Cheese or Blue Cheese dressing.
Keep up the great work!
xoxo
ohh yeah and I used a roasted chicken I picked up from the deli. Hopefully i dont get a ticket for not using “chicken wings” :)
Itās not that serious. āDo it your wayā !āšæ
It is an awesome recipe. The recipe that I have calls for either Blue Cheese or Ranch. I made it the first time with the Blue Cheese (even though I cannot stand Blue Cheese) and it was okay. LOVED it made with the Ranch. Don’t think it really matters…it’s just a name AND the flavor really comes from the hot sauce. Love the recipe and the blog!! :)
I feel bad for you and your obvious obsession with buffalo chicken dip :( you ok?????
Omg Bert, that seriously had me LMAO!Ā
A dip party!!!! *swoon*
What a fabulous Idea!!! This is one of my favorite dips too!! But I use Blue Cheese.
This is one of my favorite dips! I like to serve it with blue corn tortilla chips that I sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and pop under the broiler. Yum!
This is one of my favorite dips!
What a great party idea! A bag of chips, and a dozen or so dips is my idea of a perfect meal. This one looks like a keeper!
i use blue cheese. buffalo anything is best with blue cheese.
What a great idea for a party! I have to try that out one day. Also great dip. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait for your other dips. this week.
Oh yeah baby! I make this too, except I use 1/2 ranch and 1/2 blue cheese dressing. YUM
This is what I’m making to take to our friend’s party, though slightly different. It’s my favorite!
I have been making this dip for years and it IS awesome!!! I am not a wing fan either, but love this. If you have blue cheese fans you can use that in place of the Monterey Jack and use Blue Cheese dressing instead of Ranch.
Oh my gosh, my family would go gaga over this. Cheese, hot sauce and chicken? Perfect party food!
This looks just like the recipe I have from Taste of Home! It’s a winner and everyone LOVES it. It’s super-easy, and people think you slaved all day… muahahah!!
Buffalo Dip has become a favorite for game day, poker night, game night or whatever!
Yummy!
Wonderful superbowl snack!
I love buffalo chicken anything, and buffalo chicken dip sounds like an amazing thing to enjoy while cheering on the Steelers!:)
I need to get invited to a dip party!!! Or maybe I just need to have one?
Dip party sounds so much fun ! What a great idea. Can not believe I have never been invited to one or had one. I bet it won’t be long before I have one. Great Idea
Great superbowl snack!
One of my girlfriends makes this dip and I agree it’s AMAZING!!!! If you haven’t already print the recipe and try it, RIGHT NOW. This dip is always being requested by my other friends now. IMO I think it’s better than eating chicken wings because it’s easier and less work (for those eating and easy to make in the crock pot which is how I do it and then just shred the chicken later) and their are no bones to figure out what to do with!
also after reading the other comments, I HATE blue cheese so I ALWAYS use ranch for buffalo wings and this dip. I really don’t think there is an “incorrect” way to make this dip…to each their own!
