Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe
Think of Frank’s Buffalo chicken dip as an effortless plate of hot chicken wings. It’s surprisingly hearty, thanks to the shredded chicken, and it delivers a spicy and creamy delight with every bite. This dip is a crowd favorite because it’s spicy but not too spicy.
The combination of slightly sweet cream cheese, creamy Ranch, and Frank’s RedHot is a perfect marriage. And while you can use any hot sauce you prefer, there’s simply no substitute for Frank’s. It’s perfectly balanced with vibrant vinegar notes and a subtle spiciness.
Feel free to adjust the heat level by adding more or less hot sauce according to your preferences. And go ahead and add more toppings if you like. For example, you can include green onions, more cheese, or bits of bacon to make it your own.
So if you’re looking for the perfect party dip, you’re in the right place!
Ingredients
This recipe requires just a handful of ingredients and about five minutes of preparation. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Shredded chicken – Any shredded chicken will work in this recipe. You can get some from the store for convenience or make your own in a slow cooker.
- Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce – Enter the star of the show! Frank’s RedHot adds smoky and fiery flavors that you won’t get anywhere else.
- Cream cheese – Cream cheese is what makes this dip so thick and creamy, and it also helps tame the heat of the hot sauce. Make sure to use room-temperature cream cheese for easy mixing.
- Ranch dressing – A little ranch adds something extra to the recipe, and you’ll miss it if it’s not there.
- Blue cheese crumbles – Buffalo wings and blue cheese go hand in hand. But you can leave it out if you’re not a fan or replace it with another type of cheese, like cheddar.
How to Make Frank’s Buffalo Chicken Dip
This recipe seriously couldn’t be easier. Just mix, bake, and serve!
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C).
Warmer than 350°F, and the dip will bubble in the oven. It could also burn on top before the cheese melts.
2. Combine all the ingredients.
Stir everything together in a large bowl until it’s well mixed and creamy.
3. Bake the dip for 20 minutes.
The dip is ready when it’s fully heated. Since you’re using pre-cooked chicken, you don’t have to worry about raw meat.
4. Remove the dip from the oven, serve, and enjoy!
You can serve the dip right out of the oven. Or add some extras, like green onions or shredded cheese.
Then, serve it with veggies, pretzels, crackers, and chips – anything salty or crunchy works.
