The Best Buffalo Chicken Dip

The Best. Yes. Actually, The Best Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe is here!

Ever since I was knee-high, Aunt Denise’s Buffalo Chicken Dip has reigned supreme at every family shindig. It’s more than a dip—it’s a veritable institution. Picture this: holiday parties, BBQs, family reunions… you name it, Aunt Denise and her dip were there, stealing the spotlight. What sets her recipe apart? No fancy dressings here—just a trio of cheeses and a liberal glug of Frank’s hot sauce. Aunt Denise swore by a different hot sauce (use whatever floats your boat!), but I’ve always been a Frank’s fanatic. It’s the secret sauce that makes this dip addictive enough to have guests double-dipping shamelessly.

This is such a simple Buffalo Chicken Recipe! You will need about 3 cups shredded chicken. I boil two medium chicken breasts for about 14 minutes with various seasonings to flavor the water. If you prefer, you can grab a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, shred that baby up and use 3 cups worth! If you’re shredding your own, grab a large bowl and place cooked chicken breasts in. Using a hand mixer cuts the shredding time way down, but you can also you two forks and some elbow grease. Into a different bowl, mix your room temperature cream cheese, hot sauce, shredded cheddar and blue cheese crumbles until incorporated. Slowly add your shredded chicken. Add this mixture to a greased 6×9 pan and bake at 350 for 30 minutes!
