Buffalo Chicken Dip

Here's another great dip for get togethers.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Categories: Appetizers & Beverages, Chicken

2 cans chunk chicken -- (10 ounce) drained
OR 2 cups cooked chicken -- diced
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese -- softened
1 cup Ranch dressing
3/4 cup pepper sauce -- such as Franks® Red Hot® (the stuff for Buffalo wings)
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese -- divided
1 bunch celery -- cleaned and cut into 4 inch pieces
tortilla chips

Mix hot sauce, cream cheese, dressing, and half the cheese in a bowl. Add chicken and mix lightly. To serve, sprinkle remaining cheese over the top and serve cold or heat in the microwave, slow cooker, or in the oven (Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes. If oil collects on the top, dab it off using a paper towel.) Serve with tortilla chips.

Description: "This tangy, creamy dip tastes just like buffalo chicken wings. It's best served hot with crackers and Celery sticks. Everyone loves the results!"

NOTES: The original recipe calls for chicken flavored crackers, but we always use tortilla chips.
Jen's Notes: Be careful not to stir too much after adding the chicken so it stays chunky. I usually use leftover rotisserie chicken for this recipe.

  1. If you're using canned chicken you should make sure to use Swasons because it is all white meat breast and really low fat. I work with them and we use it in our Buffalo Chicken Dip everytime. You can also sub blue cheese dressing for ranch dressing and blue cheese crumbles for the cheddar. It gives in an authentic wings with blue cheese sauce taste.
