Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe (2024)

Is it bad if two people eat the whole thing in an hour? Asking for a friend.

A classic. I missed this so much when I moved abroad. Now that I can finally get Frank’s hot sauce here, I make it for parties and it’s always a hit. Some variations that work well - 1/2 red onion diced and added to the mixture before baking softens up nicely and adds a touch of oniony sweetness. Scallions scattered over the top before serving if you like a tiny bit of crunch. Chickpeas make a good vegetarian substitute. Lime juice for a bit more of a Mexican touch.

It's a dip, not a health food.

Made two versions of this for Super Bowl Sunday - one with shredded chicken and one with roasted cauliflower (roasted at 425 for 20 mins with salt/pep/oo before adding to recipe), and the cauliflower version was the winner - preferred by NON-vegetarians which I think is saying something...Brought me back to my upstate NY roots. Delish

What is buffalo style hot sauce? Do you make or buy it?

My wife and I made this for 4/20 tonight and we ate the whole thing

I’ve made this with white beans in place of chicken for a vegetarian version which is very good. Delicious served with celery, carrots and cauliflower. It’s on every table in Buffalo during football season!

Franks Red Hot

We doubled the recipe and used a combination of shredded breast and thigh meat. Some ideas/variation: Some bleu cheese was added on top before baking, instead of after. Next time I would mix it IN with the cream cheese. ALSO, this is a form of death by cheese (for those who enjoy that, go to!) but I would LEAVE OUT the cheddar cheese on top. It's not really necessary, and brings the dish closer to the actual item it emulates (there is no cheddar cheese in Buffalo Wings).

You can buy bottled Buffalo sauce or make your own using equal parts Frank’s hot sauce and butter with a dash of vinegar, Worcestershire and granulated garlic.

I serve this in a little heated pot - you can buy them very cheaply. This dip is like crack cocaine.

That makes this a perfect Keto recipe!

Cauliflower works great.

I like to add fresh jalapenos for texture and flavor

This was easy and it was the fan favorite! I doubled the recipe, cooked in a skillet ahead of time and dumped in a baking dish and refrigerated. Then heated up at the start of the co*cktail party. Th dish was scraped clean.

Used Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce rather than Original, substituted feta crumbles for the blue (sorry not sorry), and stirred most of the cheese into the dip rather than making a top cheese layer. Served with naan dippers. Outstanding.

Increase chicken/meat to cheese ratio. Try ground meet with spicy seasoning instead of buffalo sauce. Use no sour cream. Add sliced jalapeño onion spinach.

Too rich. Cut cheddar and cream cheese. Increase acid

Can this be made in a crockpot instead of baking it?

Made this with cauliflower instead of chicken, added pickled jalapeños and put the blue cheese on before baking and was quite pleased with the results. Also, agree that Frank's Red Hot is for sure the proper sauce choice.

Made this for a bigger football party…so I had to double up on ingredients. Added sautéed garlic, yellow onion and red peppers diced and stirred into the creamy chicken mixture…the carrots, blue corn tortilla and home made style potato chips were also a huge hit…a great appetizer! Thank you NYT cooking app.

I added 8 oz extra of the shredded chicken, and a bit more franks red hot -- was delicious

Added more cream cheese and some ranch dressing, keep things easy and use a rotisserie chicken. Wow it’s good!

I made a pot of chicken stock from 4 pounds of whole chicken thighs, and now I have something to make with that overcooked chicken meat!

I’ve made this many times as it’s a great appetizer for a crowd. One day during a snowstorm I made this for a party we were going to go to ,and we ended up staying in. I had the idea to make a meal out of it.Mixed cooked elbow, macaroni with it, put it in a casserole dish, covered it with cheese it baked it until the cheese was golden brown.Buffalo chicken, macaroni and cheese, it’s amazing!Now this is whatever everybody wants me to bring to their parties !!

Doubled it for a party and the dish was wiped clean. So so good! Next time I’d increase cheddar and mix some into the dip before baking.

Rich beyond the wildest dreams of Avarice. Yum.

As my daughter (who loves chicken wings) said: "gross". This is a heavy, gross, fake-tasting dip.

This is always in the repertoire of app favorites for parties at my house. I usually make three or four skillets of this for the holidays!

With chicken, as written: 5/5. With cauliflower: 2/5. An easy, less-expensive-than-chicken version: white beans in place of chicken, skip the blue cheese, blend into a silky smooth dippity-dip, keep warm in a tiny slow cooker. Double it, serve with baguette. Party favourite. All the stars!
