Making Buffalo Chicken Dip with Rotisserie Chicken is a delicious and straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (skin removed)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- Tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks for serving
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Shred the Chicken: Remove the skin from the rotisserie chicken, and shred the meat into small pieces. You can use your hands or forks to do this.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo wing sauce, and optional blue cheese dressing. Mix everything together until well combined and smooth.
-
Add the Chicken: Add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the mixture and stir until the chicken is evenly coated with the cheese and sauce mixture.

Transfer to Baking Dish: Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. A 9x9-inch square dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish works well. You can also use a cast-iron skillet for a rustic presentation.
-
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
-
Garnish: If desired, garnish your buffalo chicken dip with chopped green onions or cilantro for some freshness.
-
Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve it with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks for dipping.
