Dependable Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip at Home

The first time I had buffalo chicken dip was years ago, way before blogging.

My aunt had brought it to a party my sister was hosting and it was the first time I’ve had the pleasure of tasing it. Back then, I was kind of meh about spicy foods. However I couldn’t tear myself away from this dip. It had heat but didn’t make me sweat or cry out for a glass of milk for relief either. It was the reliable blend of creamy, spicy and blue cheese.

Before Christmas, Haileigh’s friend Ashlyn was over and I knew that she makes buffalo chicken dip all the time, and so I asked for her recipe because I (surprisingly) didn’t have one and was requested to bring it to a family holiday gathering. Ashlyn rattled off her go-to recipe by memory as I took notes. I only slightly adapted this method from hers, adding a little more hot sauce, using a stronger blue cheese and topping it with Monterey Jack cheese before baking.

This dip go rave reviews from everyone at the table and was gone by the end of the night. I’d call that a winner.

Thanks, Ash!

To cook this Buffalo Chicken Dip Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 bricks [softened] cream cheese
• 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing
• 1/3 cup Frank’s Red Hot sauce
• 1 cup chopped cook chicken
• 1/4 cup of crumbled blue cheese
• 1 cup Monterrey jack cheese (not pictured)
• 2 green onions.
• plus whatever you plan to dip with.

Preheat your oven to 350℉ (or 180℃).

Start by adding the 2 bricks of cream cheese, along with the 1/2 cup of blue cheese dressing and 1/3 cup of Frank’s Red Hot into a medium bowl.

Mix well until combined.

Add in the cooked chicken and 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese. I’m using a blue cheese Worth keeping, but it’s probably a little more potent than what you can find pre-crumbled. In my opinion, the stronger the blue cheese the better! But you should use a blue cheese you love.

Then spread the buffalo chicken dip into a 1.5 quart baking dish and spread evenly.

Next, top with grated Monterey Jack cheese and a few extra crumbles of blue cheese.

Lastly, bake on the middle rack of your preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Then, using pot holder, remove and allow the buffalo chicken dip to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Now, if you’re wondering what to serve with buffalo chicken dip, I like Frito Scoops, carrot slices and or celery sticks. [and beer(s)🍻]

Spicy and cheesy and addicting.

Have a safe and winning Truly Bowl!

Dip on, friends!
