Print Recipe

A creamy, spicy buffalo chicken dip baked to bubbly perfection and served with crispy homemade tortilla chips. Perfect for game day, parties, or casual snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 280g)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (120ml)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce (120ml), e.g. Frank’s RedHot
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 110g)
  • 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
  • About 3 cups tortilla chips (90g), homemade or store-bought
  • Optional: blue cheese crumbles for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If not already shredded, shred cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces about 1/2 inch wide.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
  4. Stir in buffalo hot sauce, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
  5. Fold in shredded chicken until evenly coated with the creamy buffalo mixture.
  6. Spoon mixture into an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish and smooth the top. Optionally sprinkle extra cheddar or blue cheese crumbles on top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are bubbly and top is lightly browned.
  8. While baking, prepare tortilla chips if homemade: cut corn tortillas into wedges, brush lightly with olive oil, and bake on a rimmed sheet at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes until crisp and golden.
  9. Remove dip from oven, sprinkle sliced green onions on top, and let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with tortilla chips.

Notes

Soften cream cheese thoroughly to avoid lumps. Use shredded chicken with some moisture to keep dip creamy. Adjust buffalo sauce to taste for heat level. Baking gives the dip a bubbly golden crust and better texture than microwaving. Homemade tortilla chips brushed with oil and baked are crunchier than store-bought. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat gently. Freeze dip before baking if needed.
