How to Make Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip

Step 1: Mix the chicken and hot sauce together.

Step 2: Place the buffalo sauced chicken in a baking dish.  Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 – 12 minutes.  This helps marinate the chicken with the hot sauce.

Step 3: While the chicken is baking, mix together the softened cream cheese and and blue cheese.

If you like a little bit more of a bite to your dip, you can add more blue cheese.  I personally, think the 1/2 cup is perfect.  Spoon the mixture onto the baked chicken.  Bake for another 10 – 12 minute or until the edges are bubbling.

Step 4: Top with cheddar cheese!

Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe Oven Tips:

Can you freeze the buffalo chicken dip?  I wouldn’t recommend it.  The cheese will change consistency.

What size baking pan do I need to make the dip?  I used a 9×11 baking pan for this recipe.

Can you substitute a different sauce for the blue cheese?  Yes.  BBQ sauce is delicious if you prefer something more sweet.  You can also use ranch dressing which also offers a different flavor.  My favorite is blue cheese because of the bite it has in contrast to the cream cheese.

What kind of blue cheese should I use in this recipe?  Does it matter?  Yes.  It matters. The best blue cheese is found in your produce section with other salad dressings.  A real chunky blue cheese like Marzetti Blue Cheese dressing is going to give you the best result.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?  This recipe is best served hot from the oven.  Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated to enjoy.
