My Family Loves This Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe
If you like buffalo wings in traditional buffalo wing style, here’s a recipe for you!
My friend, Morgan, had been talking about this dip for quite some time before I actually asked her for the recipe. And when my sister’s family was here over Thanksgiving weekend, I decided to give it a shot. After feeding the kids lunch, Blake and I sat down with Jessica and her husband, Scott, to a big bowl of this dip and a variety of dippers. That’s all I made for our big kids lunch. And we were happy as all get-out. It was every bit as delicious as Morgan had described, and we devoured it in no time.
What Type Of Buffalo Sauce Is Best For Buffalo Chicken Dip?
Do you know about Frank’s RedHot sauce? It’s what gives this dip its buffalo wing sauce flavor. And it is awesome! I’ve always been accustomed to the Tabasco style hot sauce, and truthfully, I’m not the biggest of fans. Then a friend turned me on to Frank’s, and our family has made this our condiment of choice. We dash this bright and flavorful sauce on eggs, frozen pizza, and macaroni and cheese.
This dip could easily be enjoyed any time of year. But what’s stopping you from trying it out this week?! Impress your family and friends at your New Years celebration. You’ll be crowned their 2011 hero.

I’ve made this dip before, and love it! I was wondering, can it be made in a slow cooker too?
Hi Jay – I have never made it in a slow cooker, but think it’s a great idea!
Have to try this! For how long did you microwave this Carol?
MMMM Yum! Took this to a gathering tonight and received lots of praise and requests for the recipe! I did double the recipe and swapped out the blue cheese dressing for ranch instead. My sweet hubby requested that I make this again and soon.
We made this last weekend, too! So good!!
About what size is that baking dish? I am spatial challenged I like to say :) Is it about an 8 by 8 square or smaller?
Hi Betsy – the dish shown in my photo is about 8″ square and 1-1/2″ deep. Hope you like this!
I make this without the mozzarella cheese and using ranch dressing and it’s outstanding that way too. I also got real lazy and didn’t want to wait for it to bake so I mixed all the ingrediants together and microwaved the dip. It actually turned out really nice and creamy and you don’t get that too much cream cheese and not enough of the hot sauce issue.
I’ve heard of people using different dressings in this…I’m going to have to try it! Thanks, Carol!
I am making this tonight! Can’t wait. I will be posting this as a “copycat feature” on my blog! I will let you know when i post it :)
Awesome! I need to try it!
If you like buffalo chicken, then yes – you DO need to try this. It’s amazing. And addictive!

I am still in the process of pretending there are no calories. :-) So I will make this and enjoy it this week…… Then once calories count again {aka: next week}, I’ll look forward to making this dip for the SuperBowl!

Just waiting to return your hospitality! You visit = I make Buffalo Chicken Dip. :)
This is truly delish! I made a variation of it for Christmas Eve appetizers and served it with Chicken in a Biskit crackers and celery! I am anxious to try your version. Love it!
Great idea with Chicken in a Biskit crackers – will have to give that a try! Hope you had a very merry Christmas, and here’s to a happy New Year!

Definitely a good dish for football!! Hope you had a merry Christmas – Happy New Year! Looking forward to seeing you in January.
I LOVE this dip!!! I made it a week ago and fell in love, I swear I could eat a whole bowl and not feel bad. ;)
Hi Angela – I could probably eat a whole bowl, too! I’ve made this several times for different groups of family & friends, and it’s always a hit.
