Buffalo Chicken Dip – have all of the goodness of hot wings without the mess!
This dip is always a hit at every party I have taken this to. This tastes just like hot wings without the mess, and without the work. Bring this to your next party or tailgate party.
1 10 oz. can chunk chicken, drained
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup Franks hot sauce
1/2 cup bottled ranch salad dressing
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
Microwave cream cheese until soft. Blend in other ingredients, breaking up chicken. Mix until smooth. Place in ovenproof dish. Bake at 350 until bubbly-about 25 minutes.

Just on a personal note, I have swapped out the ranch dressing for blue cheese and it comes out well too!
ummm….I have lived in Buffalo all my 30 years and Ranch is not what true Buffalonians put in their Chicken wing dip….we use chunky & creamy blue cheese like Rooties or Maria’s….and I personally put celery chunks in it too….just an FYI
I put in 4-6 oz of crumbled blue cheese and i use the perdue already grilled chicken and i chink it tastes better than the can
So… I assume 1c means one cup as in a measuring cup, not 8oz as in a bag of pre-shredded cheese right?
Yes, 1 C means 1 cup. This recipe is pretty flexible, you could use the 8 oz. of cheese.
What do you dip with on this recipe? Celery sticks?
Celery sticks, corn chips, crackers, honestly this is so good, I have just ate it straight.
I’ve had this minus the ranch dressing. its great on crackers and with celery. you can cook up a chicken breast or use canned both versions are great. i could eat it for a meal : )
I make Buffalo Chicken dip regularly and everyone loves it. First off, I don’t use Ranch Dressing. I use Marie’s Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing. I also use about a half a jar instead of 1/2 cup. Second, I boil 3 chicken breasts and shred them. I also fold in the chicken and cheese last. Finally, I serve it with Tostitos scoops and it is amazing. Happy eating!
i agree with buffalo momma…no self respecting buffaloian or anyone from the surround area ( born and raised in niagara falls for 34 years) would eat their chiken wings with anything less than bleu cheese…and please dont forget the celery and carrot sticks!!!
I also make this dip but I layer mine. The bottom layer is chicken and Frank’s hotwing sauce. For the second layer, I warm together the ranch or blue cheese dressing and cream cheese on the stove and then pour over the chicken layer. Finally, I top with shredded cream cheese and bake in the oven. Same recipe.. just layered. I have had it both ways and enjoy the layered recipe more.
Godsent from heaven! Thank you Stephanie!
I make this dip but use chicken breast and shred it…much better than canned chicken. Also, I add 1 cup of chopped celery.
Ranch dressing seems to be a very regional thing. Down here in the southwest, we use it on everything! This recipe is fantastic both ways, even if one is a little blasphemous.
I have to agree with you about this recipe being good, and it shouldn’t be for oh so many reasons. I love this dip!
