This is the best buffalo chicken dip recipe! Whenever I bring it to a tailgate or potluck, everyone asks for the recipe. —Peggy Foster, Florence, Kentucky

I’m a little disappointed with how my dip turned out. I followed the directions, but my final product didn’t looked as mixed as the picture displayed for this recipe. I had to mix it myself, which wasn’t a huge deal, I was just a little nervous as I was expecting my finish product to look almost the same as the picture displayed. Aren’t I supposed to layer all the ingredients, or am I supposed to mix some together before putting them in the pan? Either way, it tasted fine!

Simply Delicious! Easy to follow directions ! Boiled and shredded chicken in the morning, threw all ingredients in a bowl & mixed in the evening tossed in a pan with some cresent rolls and Voila! ? Done :)

I love this dip! But I just throw all the ingredients in a saucepan and heat it up. So fast and good! Club crackers are our favorite thing to eat it with. And I get canned Costco chicken instead of fresh just to save on time. Tastes just as great!

Has been requested at many parties in our group. I mix everything together with some reserved cheese for the top. Awesome!

I love this dip - so does everyone else. I make mine in the crockpot - travels well and stays hot. I have also doubled the recipe and used Ranch Dressing mix, sour cream and blue cheese crumbles in place of the dressing! It's a no-fail dip - cook in crockpot for about 2 hours on low. I go to Panera and have them slice a baguette or two to take with me. Always a hit.

This dip tastes exactly like a buffalo wing dipped in blue cheese, and for that, I give it five stars. Oddly, I did not care for those flavors as a dip -just my personal preference.

Used a can of Costco chicken. Hubby added some chopped jalapenos, celery and spring onions because we had some that needed to be used up. I thought it would be too hot, but it was delicious.

Made this as an appetizer for Thanksgiving. I doubled the recipe for a big crowd. I mixed the chicken with the wing sauce and left it to marinate for 50 minutes before adding it. Changes: whipped the cream cheese before layering it into the pan. I wanted it to be softer for dipping. I also used only half of the colby- monterey jack mix. After putting on half, it just seemed like an awfully lot of cheese! Was still awesome though! Highly recommended!

We thought this was delicious! I wish I had thought to get some french baguette slices because that would have tasted so good. We used pita chips. Few minor tweaks: I used shredded rotisserie chicken, and for the cheese I did 3/4 mozzarella, 1/4 cheddar. This was so simple and so easy. I'll make this again!
