Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish (e.g., 8x8 inch or similar).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix well until smooth and thoroughly combined. You can use an electric mixer for extra creaminess.
3
Fold in the shredded cooked chicken and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce mixture.
4
Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top. If using, scatter the blue cheese crumbles over the cheddar.
5
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden. For extra browning, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
6
Remove from oven and let stand for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with tortilla chips, celery sticks, and carrot sticks for dipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this dip less spicy?

Yes, you can reduce the amount of buffalo wing sauce to 1/4 cup and increase the ranch dressing by 1/4 cup to mellow out the heat. You can also use a milder buffalo sauce.

What's the best way to cook the chicken for shredding?

Rotisserie chicken is perfect for this recipe as it's already cooked and flavorful. Alternatively, you can boil or bake chicken breasts until cooked through, then shred them using two forks or a stand mixer.

Can I prepare Buffalo Chicken Dip ahead of time?

You can assemble the dip (steps 1-4) a day in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, just pop it in the oven and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to account for the cold temperature.
