🌶 Ingredients for No-Bake Buffalo Chicken Dip
- Chicken - If you are short on time, instead of cooking the chicken in stock, grab a rotisserie chicken to use instead.
- Blue Cheese - This classic cheese is commonly paired with buffalo sauce, but not everyone loves it. It adds a sharp kick to the flavor of this dip but can be omitted.
- Hot Sauce - Any buffalo wing sauce will work for this recipe, but my favorite is Frank's Red Hot!

👩🏻🍳 How to Make Buffalo Chicken Dip
First, add the chicken to a pot with the chicken stock or broth. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165˚F. (This timing will depend on how big the pieces of chicken are, so use a kitchen thermometer to ensure it's cooked all the way.)
Use two forks or a mixer to shred the chicken into smaller pieces and then let it cool in the refrigerator.
Combine the shredded chicken in a large mixing bowl with the cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing, hot sauce, blue cheese, sliced green onions, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix everything well so that all of the ingredients are combined.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight for best results. (This gives time for all the flavors to meld together!)
Serve your buffalo chicken dip with celery, carrots, crackers, or chips!
