Creamy Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe

Reviewed on Apr. 21, 2013 by Eileen614

My daughter and her friends wanted this one day but I didn't have any chicken on hand. I decided to make the same dip but used spinach instead of the chicken and made Buffalo Spinach Dip. It has since become a fave in our house, especially since we have a lot of Vegetarian friends who now enjoy this as much as we do! Try it you wont be dissapointed.

I have made this recipe several times and it is always a hit. I just made a batch for my son to take back to school. Keeps it in his dorm frig and microwaves it before eating.

Next year he is living off campus and this will be a recipe that he will be taking..easy enough for an inexperienced cook to make!

This is awesome for a party. Has just the right amount of spiciness and you can always adjust that my adding more ranch.

I made this, didn't have the small cans of chicken that it called for, but used 2 of the 10 oz canned chicken and added 1/2 can of medium rotel...HUGE hit on New Year's.

I made this and CHANGED A FEW THINGS. i USED HALF BLUE CHEESE AND HALF RANCH.

I added finely chopped onion and celery and put a bit of mozzarella over top of the cheddar. I used a bit more than half of the hot sauce that was called for....perfect heat! It was awesome! The BEST I have ever had.

We changed a few things and LOVED it!!! I used: 2 packages of cream cheese and used "Franks" Buffalo Wing Sauce instead of the hot sauce. It cooled it down quite a bit. This recipe is still a bit spicy, but MUCH cooler than the original. It was perfect!!!

Great simple recipe. Its NOT too spicy if you follow the directions: Louisiana -style hot sauce, not regular hot sauce such as (red hot) Tabasco!...(hello!) ...BIG difference

I have a recipe with the same ingredients but different quantities for the hot sauce, ranch dressing & shredded cheese. Sue_242 I agree this version is way too spicy. I only use 1/2 cup of the hot sauce, dressing & shredded cheese and while we usually don't like things real spicy, it has enough "kick" for us. We also like to sprinkle a little extra shredded cheese on top.

Made this many times using about 1/4 the amount of hot sauce and mixing the cheese into the dip before baking. Yummy is everyone's opinion who try it!

I made this recipe for a Super Bowl party that our family hosted a couple years ago, and my brother LOVED it. It's become a Super Bowl tradition. My only issue with this recipe is that it can be a little salty, but perhaps if the chips weren't salted that issue would be rectified. It also is pretty spicy, but that's never been a complaint for my family. :) A great, fun, simple recipe!

Instead of hot sauce I tried it with Budweiser brand mild & tangy wing sauce. My family doesn't like things too hot so it was perfect. Those who like a good bite should stick with the original recipe.

Holy Hot Wings is right! I thought I died and went straight to hello! It was so hot even my husband who loves anything burning his throat thought it was too hot.

I am going to make it again but this time use much less hot sauce. I did use Frank's as some others recommended so maybe that was the problem. I love the ingredients for a dip so I'm hopeful the next try will be better.

Absolutely delicious! I brought it for Thanksgiving at my in-laws and it was a hit! Had to promise to make it again for our Christmas Eve party. I might leave off the cheddar cheese on top, it doesn't seem to be needed really. But it was very good, and super simple to make.

I make this receipe all the time but highly recommend not using canned chicken. I also use my crockpot to cook my chicken & simmer the dip, that way it stays warm at the various potlucks I take it to. I also will sometime omit the cream cheese to keep the calories down & most of the time I use blue cheese dressing which makes it taste more authentic (although I am not a fan of bleu cheese ususally!).

Oh this is good! I do not like things overly hot but I didn't find this to be too hot. I made it twice and the second time I put in less hot sauce. I don't see why it cannot be adjusted after the cream cheese and dressing are added if it isn't enough. I also made this with putting in shrimp and canned crabmeat. Another hit and it is great for tailgating!

Question: I've had Buffalo Wings before, but never a BW dip. Isn't a whole cup (one bottle or more) going to make this REALLY spicy? Just how "hot" is this dip? I mean, can you taste the other ingredients, or is it all "burn"? I'm not making a judgment, I'd just like to know before I try this.

To taressas and mrw1128 ~~ Both of you should get off your 'high horse' and check 'Frank's (R) Redhot (R) Buffalo Chicken Dip' recipe on it's web site!!!

8 oz cream cheese

1/2 c. blue cheese ~OR~ ranch salad dressing

1/2 c. Frank's RH sauce

1/2 c. crumbled blue cheese ~OR~ shredded mozzarella cheese

2 cans chicken

Frank's was the 'secret' in the original Buffalo wings back in 1964. For that reason, I would certainly use Frank's recipe and deem the recipes of the two self-absorbed 'shrews' (?) 'defeasible'!!!

8oz cream cheese

1/2 c blue cheese dressing (rooties is the best)

1/2 c Franks hot sause (HAS TO BE FRANKS!!!!!)

1/2 c crumbled blue cheese

2c cooked chicken.....

Cook Chicken in frying pan diced with butter and hot sause (To taste). Shred chicken. add all ingredients and mix. Bake at 350 for 20 mins or so.... NEVER EVER mix buff wings with ranch that is not a buffalo wing!!!!! It has to be blue cheese! and a bufflo wing is ALWAYS made with franks or other type of cayenne pepper sause knock off....

I am born and raised in Buffalo, and we would never make this dip with ranch dressing. My recipe replaces the ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing (found in the produce section), also I would never use canned chicken meat, I roast two in-bone chicken breast, let them cool and shred the meat. Also, you will need to bake in longer at least 30 minutes and no green onions! Now you have Buffalo Wing dip!

Not bad, but I did change it some. Used 1 cup buffalo wing sauce instead of louisana hot sauce, 2 cans of shredded chicken (15 oz each) or use a whole chicken and shred, 2 oz of mozzarella. Put the 8 oz cream cheese in either crock pot or on low low stove til becomes a slurry and add the rest of the ingredients. Add some hot sauce to spice up just a little or some extra wing sauce. Keep warm and serve with celery, chips, crackers. Big hit at office parties.
