This creamy, tangy, and spicy Buffalo chicken dip is the ultimate game-day appetizer. With a velvety texture from room-temperature cream cheese and bursts of blue cheese in every bite, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot Original)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese, divided
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Let cream cheese sit on the counter to soften, or microwave in 10-second bursts until soft but not melted.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and hot sauce. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add shredded chicken, 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese. Fold together with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer mixture to a 9×9-inch baking dish or small cast-iron skillet. Spread into an even layer. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles on top.
  5. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until bubbly around the edges and lightly golden on top. Optionally broil for 1-2 minutes for a browned top, watching closely.
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
  7. Serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, or crusty bread.

Notes

Room temperature cream cheese is crucial for a smooth texture. Don’t over-bake; the dip will continue to set as it cools. Shred chicken while warm for even distribution. Use a good quality hot sauce like Frank’s RedHot. Taste the mixture before baking to adjust seasoning.
