The best Buffalo Chicken Dip recipe and it is a treat for one’s taste buds. The spicy rich, cheesy sauce makes a perfect dip. Be sure to check out the countless ways to use Buffalo chicken dip. 

So I’m bit slow on the uptake discovering Buffalo chicken dip. It took me a long time to hitch a ride on the buffalo chicken train.

I’m not a wing lover and maybe that’s why. But with all the ways that buffalo sauce has entered into the mainstream diet, I figured I should find something more to do with it than dip celery!

Truly, I must say there is no going back now. This crazy sauce is now appearing in potatoes and coleslaw and bbq sauce in my kitchen. And my list just keeps growing of what I can add Frank’s buffalo hot sauce to.

With Super Bowl approaching dips are always on everyone’s radar screen, but I wanted more than dip. Yes, this recipe could become dippable. In fact, I have a whole bunch of suggestions as to what you can do with his incredible chicken filling.

Cheesy and rich, Frank’s Buffalo chicken dip is perfect for Super Bowl or for a Sunday night supper. And the best part is it gets better overnight. Somehow the flavors magically meld together to create the perfect bite. (Don’t forget that!)

So…How do you make Buffalo chicken dip?

The easiest way is to buy a rotisserie chicken. Shredded chicken is perfect in this recipe. If you don’t have leftover chicken on hand, just simmer some chicken, white or dark meat, let it cool a touch and then shred that.

Mix it into a sauce made up of Frank’s Buffalo style hot sauce, a bit of butter and let that simmer a few minutes. I started by sauteing some onions for some extra flavor.

After that stir in some sour cream, blue cheese and cream cheese and basically you have an amazing dip.  Wow! Took me longer to type it then to make it!

I don’t have a crush on Frank or anything but his Buffalo sauce is the only one I’ve tried and it is good!

Is there a way to make Buffalo Chicken Dip lo-cal?

Well, there is a way to make this without so many calories. You could leave out the butter in the sauce and use no fat cream cheese and low fat sour cream.

Leave out the shredded Cheddar or use reduced fat and then use celery for dippers. That way for sure it’s healthier! No, it won’t be as creamy, but the flavor of the Buffalo sauce is still mighty addicting!

How else can I use Buffalo Chicken Dip?

1. Buffalo chicken filling can be used as a dip. You knew that already, right?
