Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 400g), rotisserie preferred
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (120ml), homemade or store-bought
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (120ml), such as Frank’s RedHot
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100g)
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped green onions or chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Shred about 3 cups (400g) of cooked chicken meat, discarding skin and bones.
  3. Soften 8 oz (225g) cream cheese at room temperature for about 20 minutes or microwave for 15 seconds.
  4. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup (120ml) ranch dressing until smooth and creamy using an electric hand mixer or wooden spoon.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and black pepper to taste.
  6. Mix in 1/2 cup (120ml) buffalo wing sauce until evenly combined.
  7. Gently fold in shredded chicken, 1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles if using.
  8. Spread the mixture evenly in an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking dish.
  9. Bake for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned on top.
  10. Remove from oven and sprinkle chopped green onions or chives over the top.
  11. Serve warm with celery sticks, crackers, or toasted baguette slices.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps. Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control spiciness. If dip is too thick before baking, add a splash of ranch or buffalo sauce. Watch baking time carefully to avoid drying out. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat gently. For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute cream cheese, ranch, and cheeses accordingly.
