Ingredients
This Buffalo dip uses simple ingredients that melt together into a creamy, flavorful appetizer.
See the recipe card below for the exact quantities of each ingredient.
- Cream Cheese: Creates the rich, creamy base that holds everything together.
- Rotisserie Chicken: Adds tender shredded chicken and keeps the recipe quick and easy.
- Cheddar Cheese: Melts throughout the dip for a cheesy, gooey texture.
- Blue Cheese Dressing: Adds tangy flavor.
- Frank's Red Hot Sauce: Gives the dip its signature spicy Buffalo chicken dip flavor.
- Sour Cream or Cottage Cheese, Optional: While, neither one is a must, I highly recommend adding them for extra creaminess. I always use cottage cheese (blended) for additional protein.
Grab a large skillet, 1 ½ quart baking dish, cheese grater, and some measuring cups and you will be one step closer to make the best Buffalo chicken dip!
Variations
- Ranch Version: Swap blue cheese dressing for ranch dressing if preferred.
- Extra Heat: Add more Buffalo wing sauce or a pinch of cayenne for a spicier dip.
- Slow Cooker Option: Make it in a slow cooker or crock pot for easy serving during parties.
- Cheese Swap: Add pepper jack cheese for extra flavor and spice.
How to Make Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip with Rotisserie Chicken
This Buffalo chicken dip recipe comes together quickly-melt the cheeses, stir in the remaining ingredients, then bake until hot and bubbly.
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a large 1.5-quart oval casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium-low. Add cream cheese and stir regularly until melted. You can squish down some of the cubes as they soften to help it melt faster.
Add shredded chicken, half the cheddar cheese, blue cheese dressing, hot sauce and cottage cheese or sour cream, if using.
Heat up for a few minutes, mixing well to combine, then transfer to prepared baking dish, topping with remaining cheddar cheese.
Bake 15-20 minutes, until cheese is bubbling on the edges, then broil if desired.
Top with sliced green onions, blue cheese crumbles if desired, and serve with celery, carrots, tortilla chips or your favorite crackers.
Hint: Room temperature softened cream cheese melts more smoothly and evenly.
Recipe Tips
- Shred Chicken Small: Smaller pieces help the dip stay creamy and easier to scoop.
- Broil Carefully: A quick broil at the end gives the top a bubbly, golden finish.
- Adjust the Heat: Start with less hot sauce if serving a crowd with different spice preferences.

Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip Recipe FAQs
Yes that definitely works well as a quick shortcut, but rotisserie chicken will give the best flavor and texture. Another option is to boil and shred fresh chicken breasts.
It has a medium Buffalo heat, but you can adjust the hot sauce to your preference and make it as mild or spicy as you like.
Sharp cheddar is our favorite because it melts well and gives the dip the best flavor, but pepper jack is a great addition for some extra spice.
