- I like to soften cream cheese in the microwave prior to using, as it helps ensure the dip is super creamy and not lumpy.
- Depending on the brand of dressing and style of chicken used, the dip may be more or less salty - if it's too salty, you can dilute it with a bit of water.
- Start with ¼ cup of hot sauce and add more to reach your desired level of spiciness.
- Extra sharp cheddar cheese works best for this recipe. Shred a block of cheese yourself for the best texture and flavor.
- Rotisserie chicken is a time-saving and delicious option for this dip. It's already cooked and packed with flavor.
- Serve your Buffalo Chicken Dip with thick corn chips, tortilla chips, crackers, or celery and carrot sticks. The dip can be served hot or at room temperature. Leftovers can be wrapped airtight and chilled for several days.
