How to make Easy Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip

First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease your baking dish.

In your casserole dish (or an oven safe baking dish!), add your room temperature cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, ranch seasoning, hot sauce, shredded cheese, and rotisserie chicken.

Place your dish in the oven covered for 15 minutes to allow the cream cheese and cheese to melt.

Remove your dish from the oven and mix all of your ingredients together until they make a creamy dip.

Add the dish back to the oven and cook for 10-15 minutes more until hot all the way through.

You don’t want the dip browned on top but lightly toasted is fine!

Tips

Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature before placing in the oven. It will all melt quick and blend better when stirring.
Want it spicier? Add extra hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
For a much more milder spicy kick, reduce the amount of hot sauce used to 1/3 cup.
Shred your own cheese for the creamiest texture.
Servce straight from the baking dish to keep warm for longer.

FAQs

Absolutely! It is an easy dip to throw together but if you know you will be short on time you can assemble this dip ahead of time.

You can! Just drain the chicken before adding it with the other ingredients.

It has a mild heat. You can easily adjust the heat by adding more or less hot sauce.

Ranch adds a great flavor! But, if you choose to not use a ranch seasoning packet, you can substitute it with onion powder, garlic powder, and dried dill.

Yes! You can use Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or any kind of cheddar will work.
