Rotisserie Buffalo Chicken Dip
Rotisserie Buffalo Chicken Dip combines shredded rotisserie chicken, cream cheese, ranch dressing, and a homemade buttery buffalo sauce into a creamy, spicy dip. Topped with melted pepper jack cheese and optionally garnished with green onions and red pepper flakes, it bakes to a bubbly, rich consistency. This dip serves well with crisp vegetables like bell pepper, celery, and carrot sticks, or tortilla chips for dipping, making it a hearty and flavorful appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken plain
- 16 oz cream cheese
- ¾ cup hot sauce plus extra few TBSP for topping, Frank’s Red Hot Sauce brand
- 2-3 TBSP butter melted
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1-2 cups pepper jack cheese coarsely grated, Cabot
- green onion optional, chopped (green onion), for topping

DELISH DIPPERS

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Set out cream cheese to soften or microwave for 30-60 seconds.
- Shred and chop chicken breast and dark meat.
- Melt butter and whisk into hot sauce to make a homemade buffalo sauce. Feel free to add exta hot sauce, to taste.
- In an oven-safe baking dish, combine chicken, cream cheese, buttery hot sauce (aka buffalo sauce) and ranch dressing.
- Season with garlic powder and salt and mix well.
- Top with freshly grated pepper jack cheese. You can even mix a little cheese into the dip if you'd like. Cabot brand is my favorite for this dip - it melts like a breeze and is super flavorful. Add a hearty drizzle or so of hot sauce on top.
- Bake at 350° F for 15-20 minutes.
- If a garnish is desired, you can top the dip with a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes and/or chopped green onion.
Notes
- Softening or briefly microwaving the cream cheese before mixing helps achieve a smooth dip.
- Add extra hot sauce on top before baking if a spicier flavor is preferred.
- Use fresh green onions and crushed red pepper flakes as garnish for additional texture and heat.
- Recipe yields about 6 cups. Serve in small portions to control intake.
