Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip
You will love how quickly this recipe comes together, especially if you use a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.
If you decide to make your own chicken, just add about 25 minutes to prepare the chicken.
After the chicken is prepared it is just a matter of mixing all the ingredients together, then bake them until the ingredients are nice and bubbly from the melted cheese.
Let’s get specific!
How Do I Make Buffalo Chicken Dip From Scratch?
You will need the following ingredients:
- Shredded chicken: You can either cook two chicken breast ahead of time or use a rotisserie chicken. To bake and shred yourself follow these how to bake chicken instructions.
- Butter
- Franks original cayenne pepper sauce: you can use the “Buffalo” sauce if you would like less spice for your buffalo chicken dip. If you like more spice, you can always use “Hot Buffalo” instead. I tend to use a combination of both and that is the perfect spice level for me.
- Cream cheese
- Garlic powder
- Greek yogurt: The Greek yogurt can be substituted with sour cream
- Cheddar cheese: shred it yourself to keep the carbs low. Pre-shredded cheese often adds potato starch to keep the cheese from sticking together. If you don’t like cheddar cheese you can always substitute with your favorite type of cheese.
You will need the following supplies:
- 8-inch skillet or any medium sized skillet
- Oven safe pan if skillet is not oven safe

What Do You Eat With Buffalo Chicken Dip?
Buffalo chicken dip is traditionally eaten with alongside celery and carrot sticks. I also like to add cucumber and zucchini slices.
For a crunchy texture, pork rinds are delicious or make homemade baked tortilla chips with low carb tortillas.
For non keto diet follower you can also use crackers or crunchy bread to dip into your Buffalo chicken.
Enjoy out of the baked dish or scoop in smaller portions to serve.
