Buffalo Chicken Dip – Spicy, Creamy & Perfect for Game Day

This Buffalo Chicken Dip is the ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizer that brings together the bold heat of buffalo sauce, creamy richness from cream cheese, and the savory flavor of shredded chicken, all in one bubbling hot dish. The combination of ranch dressing and melted cheese perfectly balances the spiciness, creating a smooth and comforting texture with every scoop. It’s a fantastic option for game day, parties, or casual get-togethers. You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience, or swap in Greek yogurt for a lighter twist. Serve it with chips, celery sticks, or toasted bread for a dip that’s always the first to disappear.
