Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip

Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip is arguably the most iconic party dip of all time. It’s so easy and fast, you can have in on your table in no time!

I prefer to eat chicken dip with tortilla chips or crackers but it also goes great with celery sticks and carrot sticks!

Buffalo chicken dip is the perfect combination of chicken, buffalo sauce, and cheese. If you’d like, add blue cheese for that real Buffalo chicken wing touch!

Equipment Needed

How to make Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip

These are the basic steps for making Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip. Please refer to the recipe card below for more detailed instructions.

STEP 1: PREP

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Combine half of the cream cheese, Franks Hot Sauce, spices and stir.

Then, smear over the chicken in the baking dish. It’ll be lumpy and that’s ok, just make sure to cover all of the chicken.

STEP 2: BAKE CHICKEN

Bake the chicken for about 25 minutes. Check for doneness by cutting open the chicken breast. If they are done, remove from oven. If not, bake in 5 minute increments, checking between each increment, until done.

STEP 3: MELT CHEESE

Using a hand mixer, shred the chicken. Then, add the remaining cream cheese and stir it into the chicken mixture.

Cover with cheddar cheese and place back into the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheddar. Serve and enjoy!
