Don’t you love easy appetizers? I sure do, especially ones that are portable and can be made ahead. This Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip can even be frozen so you always have a yummy appetizer or weeknight sandwiches ready to go.
How to Make Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip
You’re going to need 4 cups of shredded chicken for this recipe, which can be white or dark meat—you can use a whole rotisserie chicken, or bake some chicken thighs or breasts, or use my easy Crockpot Shredded Chicken method. If you use the crock pot, the chicken almost shreds itself.
Then you add the good stuff: cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, mozzarella, sour cream, Ranch dressing, and hot sauce. For this recipe, I only use Frank’s RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce—and no, this is not a sponsored post, that’s just the sauce that I use!
Buffalo Chicken Dip is so versatile that you can serve it as a dip or make hand pies, which I also did. You can also serve this as a filling for sliders or burritos.
Other than shredding the chicken, there’s basically no work involved in this dish. You just stir everything together and bake. Then enjoy!
