Why This Recipe Stands Out
We love a good party appetizer, especially when it’s as flavorful as this Frank’s Buffalo Chicken Dip. Here’s why you’ll love this recipe:- Disappears at Parties: This dip is the perfect appetizer for gatherings, just like our Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip.
- Cheesy and Creamy: The combination of cream cheese and cheddar cheese in this recipe makes it super cheesy and delicious.
- Bold Flavors: The combination of Frank’s Hot Sauce, ranch dressing, and garlic and onion powders provide bold, irresistible flavor.
- Serve With Anything: This dip is perfect with corn chips, tortilla chips, crackers, or veggie sticks. It’s a versatile recipe, like our Black Bean Dip.
Key Recipe Ingredients
- Cream Cheese—Regular cream cheese adds a rich and creamy texture that is essential for a creamy dip.
- Frank’s Hot Sauce—Frank’s Hot Sauce adds the perfect level of heat and a tangy kick to our dip.
- Shredded Chicken—We use cooked shredded chicken; use rotisserie chicken for ease.
Substitutions and Variations
Here are some of our favorite variations and substitution ideas for this recipe:- Cheese: Smoked gouda would add a deliciously smoky flavor, or try blue cheese for a more traditional buffalo wing flavor.
- Protein: You can substitute with canned chicken, or you can season/cook ground beef.
- Spice Level: Change up the kick level by adding red pepper flakes, more Frank’s sauce, or add a few dashes of Sriracha. Our Sriracha Buffalo Chicken Dip is delicious!
