I am going to confess that I made this recipe this past summer while the sun was shining to finally get photos to share. I always make it during the winter and find that Spokane weather is not the best for happy photos.
My husband came home and was so excited to see this buffalo ranch chicken dip sitting waiting for him. I ended up having to take photos quickly so he didn't dive into it before I was done.
This can also be made in the crockpot if you are looking to pre-make it before an event.
We recently visited Buffalo, New York and my husband had the opportunity to try Buffalo Chicken Wings at the original restaurant the Anchor Bar.
He was so excited to try the wings and see how they compare to what we get in Spokane. The buffalo sauce they used was amazing.
Ingredients
- Rotisserie Chicken/Shredded Chicken
- Cream Cheese
- Ranch Dressing
- Frank's RedHot Buffalo Wing Hot Sauce
- Cheddar Cheese
Serve with corn chips, tortilla chips, celery sticks and carrots, bell pepper strips, toasted bread, pita chips, and sliced baguettes
Optional - Garnish with blue cheese crumbles, green onions/scallions
Chicken - We use a Costco rotisserie chicken that we cut up. You can also substitute slow cooker shredded chicken breast or canned chicken. Any of these options work great.
Cream Cheese - Make sure to use a block form of cream cheese and not the spreadable cream cheese. Full-fat block cream cheese works best. Low fat cream cheese can separate.
Ranch Dressing - This cools down the heat from the hot sauce and adds an epic flavor. You can also use blue cheese dressing if you prefer that flavor.
Cheese - You can use sharp or medium cheddar cheese, white cheddar, Colby-jack, tex-mex really any cheese you love that is shredded and melts easily.
Equipment Needed
Large Mixing Bowl - We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It makes it easy to mix ingredients and keeps the mixing bowl steady on the counter.
