Notes
Make Ahead
Our Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe can be made up to 3 days ahead of time. To make ahead, follow recipe instructions until it's time to bake the dip. Tightly cover unbaked dip with plastic wrap and refrigerate. When ready to serve, remove plastic wrap from baking dish and bake dip, adding an additional 3-5minutes to the baking time.Freezing
We do not recommend freezing this dip. The amount of dairy in this dip will cause the quality to go down tremendously once frozen.Buffalo Chicken Dip Variations
We love this simple and delicious recipe so much, but there are few different things we like to change, add and take away depending on what we have on hand. Some of our favorite variations are below!- White cheddar is a great alternative to regular cheddar. It has a naturally sharp flavor which we love!
- If you want a slightly milder flavor cheese, fontina is a great choice! It's mild in flavor, but still melts really well, making it perfect for this dip!
- Chives can be used in place of the green onions for an equally delicious hint of onion.
- Cilantro makes a great addition to this dip. Simply stir a little into the dip for an extra bright flavor boost!
- You can also adjust the spicy levels in this dip by adding more or less of the buffalo sauce. If you're worried about it being too spicy, then start with half the amount of buffalo sauce and go from there.
