What Is Buffalo Chicken Dip?
Buffalo Chicken Dip is one of my all-time favorite party foods! It’s super easy to make and so creamy and flavorful. This Buffalo Chicken recipe is made Whole30 compliant and Paleo, with simple ingredients like shredded chicken, hot sauce, mayo and seasonings. You also don’t have the mess of Buffalo Chicken Wings, and this is baked right in an easily portable baking dish. It’s no surprise that this dip is the very first thing to disappear from the snack table.
How To Make Buffalo Chicken Dip:
Everyone has their own version of Buffalo Chicken Dip.For me personally, I wanted to make this appetizer dairy-free and healthier.
Just a handful of super simple steps is all it takes to make this recipe.
- Start by preheating the oven to 350ºF. Grab a medium-sized mixing bowl and stir all ingredients together.
- Transfer mixture to an 8×8″ baking dish or you can use one like you see in the photos.
- Bake until golden and bubbly, about 30-35 minutes.
That’s it! Super easy, right?
Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients:
- The Chicken – Feel free to use whatever chicken you have on-hand. You can bake or boil fresh chicken breasts and then shred them or use canned chicken or rotisserie chicken. I really like to use rotisserie chicken because it has a great flavor and significantly cuts down on prep time.
- The Hot Sauce – Use your favorite, but Tessemae’s is always my go-to!
- The Seasoning – This recipe uses garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. They are simple seasonings, but paired with the other ingredients, they give this dip the BEST flavor!
- The Mayo – This dip is meant to be creamy. Instead of using cream cheese or another cheese substitute, I find that mayo works so well to give this dip that classic creamy texture, while easily keeping the recipe Whole30 compliant and Paleo. Of course, you will want to use either a homemade mayo or try Primal Kitchen Mayo.
Can You Make Buffalo Chicken Dip In Advance?
Yes! To make Buffalo Chicken Dip ahead of time, prepare the dip up to one day in advance, cover and refrigerate. Add 5 to 10 minutes of cooking time when ready to bake.
Can You Make Buffalo Chicken Dip In The Slow Cooker?
You can make this dip in a slow cooker by adding all of the ingredients to the slow cooker, stirring, and cooking on low for 4 to 6 hours. Stir once or twice during the cooking process.
How Do You Reheat Buffalo Chicken Dip?
If you happen to have leftovers, I would suggest finishing them up within 2-3 days. This dip works great reheated in the oven or microwave. You can even make a whole new meal! I love this dip wrapped up in a tortilla!
What To Serve With This Dip?
The greatness of this Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe is that it tastes great with just about anything. Favorites include,
- Crackers, chips, pretzels.
- Celery and carrot sticks. Sweet mini peppers would also be great!
- A crusty bread.
