Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Chicken Dip is a creamy, cheesy, spicy appetizer made with just five ingredients. Perfect for parties, game day, or holidays, this crowd-pleasing dip can be baked, microwaved, or slow-cooked.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/3 cup Frank’s RedHot Sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 19.5 oz canned chicken breast, drained and shredded (or ~2 cups cooked chicken)
  • 1–2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • Optional garnishes: parsley, blue cheese crumbles, green onions, ranch or sour cream drizzle
  • To serve: tortilla chips, crackers, crostini, or vegetable sticks

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for about 1 minute.
  2. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, ranch dressing, and Frank’s RedHot Sauce until smooth.
  3. Stir in shredded chicken and ½ of the shredded cheese.
  4. Transfer mixture to a baking dish and top with remaining cheese.
  5. For oven: Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly.
  6. For microwave: Heat on high for 8 minutes until bubbling.
  7. For slow cooker: Cook on low for 3–4 hours or high for 90 minutes, stir, top with remaining cheese, and cook 15–20 minutes more.
  8. Optional: garnish before serving. Serve warm with dippers of choice.

Notes

  • Use homemade ranch dressing for extra flavor.
  • Can be made ahead and baked just before serving.
  • Freeze with caution—cream cheese may separate upon thawing.
  • Adjust heat level by varying the amount of hot sauce.
  • Try blue cheese dressing and crumbles for variation.
