🔪 How to Make Buffalo Chicken Dip

Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl and whip up using a hand mixer.

Add in the blue cheese dressing, buffalo sauce, sour cream, parsley and garlic salt.

Mix until well combined.

Add in the shredded chicken and cheddar cheese, reserving about ¾ cup of the cheddar cheese for the topping.  Mix by hand until combined.  

Pour the mixture into an 8x8 (or slightly smaller) casserole baking dish that's been sprayed or brushed with olive oil.

Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese over the top and bake for 20 minutes , or until the cheese is slightly golden brown.

Bake an additional 5 minutes at 400°F.  Allow to cool slightly and top with the crumbled blue cheese and (optional) chopped chives, before serving.

💡 Tips for Making Buffalo Dip

• Make sure the chicken is finely shredded. If the pieces are too large, it will be more difficult to scoop up the dip. My favorite way is to use a hand mixer to shred the chicken and it takes just a couple of minutes.
• Make your own blue cheese dressing. It's Keto friendly and absolutely delicious.
• Use room temperature cream cheese, sour cream, buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing. This will help the sauce whip up better.
• Try to shred your own cheddar cheese. Store bought packaged shredded cheese tends to have anti-caking agents. I use a box grater for this, and it takes just a few minutes. Putting the block of cheese in the freezer 10 minutes prior, makes it super easy to grate.
• Make your own buffalo sauce, it's very easy, see how in this recipe. If you are pressed for time, you can certainly use store-bought.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• To save time, you can use rotisserie chicken, instead of cooking your own.
• If you don't like using all cheddar cheese, you can use a mixture of pepper jack, Monterey Jack, Colby or any cheese that melts well.
• Want even more heat? Add some sliced jalapeño peppers or if they are a little too hot for you, try using pickled jalapeños instead.
• If you don't like blue cheese dressing, and as painful as this is for me to say, you can use ranch dressing instead.
• Scallions and also be substituted for the chives, if that's what you have on hand.

What is Buffalo Chicken Dip Made of?

This recipe for low carb buffalo chicken dip has all the classic flavors that you would find in buffalo wings. Chicken, buffalo wing sauce and blue cheese are the key ingredients. Then I added other components for flavor and creaminess.

What Can I Use Instead of Chips in Buffalo Chicken Dip?

If you cannot find or make your own Keto friendly tortilla chips, there are a number of raw veggies that you can use instead. I've listed some of my favorites above.

Do You Eat Buffalo Chicken Dip Cold or Hot?

This buffalo chicken dip is meant to be served hot. It becomes more solid once it cools, which doesn't make it easy to dip into.

You can store this buffalo dip in the fridge for 3-4 days.
