Buffalo Chicken Dip

This Buffalo Chicken Dip is super creamy, extra cheesy and has the perfect amount of heat! It is ALWAYS a crowd pleaser.

Super Bowl is one of my favorite days of the year. Why, you ask? Of course not for the football. I have tried so hard to understand the sport, but it just doesn't stick! I always say it's just good for the food! Lots of tasty picky foods are my favorite. Today, I have a recipe that is sure to please everyone at your Super Bowl party or any event for that matter because who doesn't love a good buffalo chicken dip!

I've tried tons of buffalo chicken dip in my day and this is by far my favorite. It's creamy, so full of flavor and has just the right amount of heat. You can use more or less hot sauce depending on how spicy you want it but with all the cooling and creamy ingredients in this dip, it's the perfect amount for me.

How to prepare chicken for buffalo chicken dip

• Rotisserie chicken: You can purchase a rotisserie chicken and shred it up to use in this recipe. This is my preferred way to make buffalo chicken dip because in my opinion, it gives it the most flavor! Be sure to be very careful to now get any bones while shredding.
• Boiled chicken breast: Boil 2-3 chicken breasts until cooked through and shred them. I will sometimes use this method if I’m pressed for time and can’t get to the store or if I have chicken to use up.
• Canned chicken: In a pinch, you can use canned chicken, rinsed and drained well. This isn’t my preferred method, but it works if that's all you have!

Ingredients needed

• Shredded cooked chicken: Rotisserie chicken, boiled chicken breasts or canned chicken all work for this recipe.
• Cream cheese: Needs to be softened to mix properly.
• Sour cream
• Mayonnaise
• Buffalo Sauce: I love Frank's Buffalo wing sauce. Be sure to use buffalo sauce and not hot sauce!
• Dressings: Ranch & bleu cheese. You can use both like I do or if you prefer one, just use one of them just be sure to compensate for the amount.
• Spices: garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt & pepper
• CHEESE: I use a delicious mixture of cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella. You really can use almost any kind of cheese you want in this recipe.
