This Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip with Dill is pretty much a classic and for good reason! There’s all of the delicious flavours of buffalo wings in a dip form. Yummy for weekend eats, parties or game day!

Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip with Leftover Chicken

I made this dip just this past weekend.  Hubby, my brother, and sister-in-law went out for dinner and drinks at a local place (a little tradition we do this time of year).  Later when we returned home, I broke out the dip and it was a hit!  We had a little game of Catch Phrase and munched on this and had a little laugh.  Don’t you just love getting together with friends and family over good food?  Oh the memories!

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Dip? It’s easy!

  • Combine cream cheese, hot sauce, ranch dressing, pepper, dill, chili flakes and lime in your food processor. Blend until smooth.
  • Stir in chicken and blue cheese.
  • Place on serving dish, top with crackers, green onion, celery and dill (if heating, add these ingredients after the oven).
  • Serve with your fave chips. Enjoy!

Tips for Making this Buffalo Chicken Dip

  • Light cream cheese was used, but you can totally use the regular variety.
  • Though this is a buffalo ‘chicken’ dip, if you want to omit the chicken and have straight up vegetarian, that’s a-ok too!
  • Not a fan of blue cheese? You can omit.
  • The variety of hot sauce you use will determine the spice level of this dip.  My favourite is Frank’s (not sponsored or anything, I just enjoy that hot sauce).
  • I warmed this buffalo chicken dip through, but you can enjoy as is if you prefer.
  • Leftover cooked turkey from the holidays or special occasion? Use that instead of chicken.
  • You can make this dip a day ahead if you like.  Before serving (if you aren’t heating), let sit out for 10 minutes or so so that the dip loosens up.

Ingredients

  • 1 package light cream cheese -softened (at room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce -your fav (I used Frank's Original)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1.5 tsp dill -divided
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes -optional
  • 1 lime -juiced
  • 1/3 cup blue cheese -crumbled
  • 1.5 cup cooked chicken -leftover from a rotisserie chicken (shredded)
  • 1/4 cup crackers -about 4-5, crushed (I used Ritz), optional
  • 3-4 stalks green onion -chopped
  • 1 stalk celery -finely chopped

Instructions

  • In a food processor combine cream cheese, hot sauce, ranch dressing, pepper, 1 tsp dill, chili flakes (if using) and lime. Combine until smooth & creamy.
  • Place above in bowl (or mix with a spatula right in processor - save the mess, lol) and stir in crumbled blue cheese and shredded cooked chicken.
  • Spread dip in a serving dish (I used a glass pie plate). Top with crushed crackers (optional), green onion, celery and remaining 1/2 tsp of dill. Can be served right away (or can heat in a 350F oven, uncovered, for about 10-15 minutes). Serve with chips. Enjoy! Note- if heating in oven, top with crackers, green onion, celery and remaining dill after dip comes out of oven.

Notes

  • If you don't have leftover chicken, you can cook one chicken breast for this recipe.
  • Leftover turkey also works well in this recipe.
  • If desired, can also drizzle finished dip with a tsp of hot sauce.
