Rotisserie Buffalo Chicken Dip

Let me tell you — if you’re looking for a crowd-pleasing dip that disappears faster than you can say “buffalo,” this easy rotisserie buffalo chicken dip is the one. I’ve made this more times than I can count, and every single time, it’s scraped clean before the chips even run out. It’s spicy, cheesy, creamy, and totally addictive — the kind of dish people hover around, scooping up bite after bite, pretending they’re “just having a little.”

The secret? Rotisserie chicken. It gives the dip that rich, savory flavor that canned chicken just can’t match. Plus, it makes this dip feel a little more homemade — without adding a lot of work.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

I make this dip whenever I need something quick, comforting, and guaranteed to please. Whether it’s a game day hangout, a potluck with friends, or just a Saturday afternoon with the family, it never fails to hit the spot.

• Fast and easy – You’re looking at about 10 minutes of prep and 20 minutes in the oven.
• Uses store-bought rotisserie chicken – Total shortcut win. It’s juicy, flavorful, and saves a ton of time.
• Perfect balance of heat and creaminess – The buffalo wing sauce gives it that signature zing without overpowering the creamy base.
• Flexible for your crowd – Serve it with celery for the low-carb crowd or chips for the rest of us.

INGREDIENTS THAT MAKE IT SPECIAL

This recipe keeps things simple, but each ingredient earns its place:

• Rotisserie chicken – Pull it while it’s still warm — it shreds easily and absorbs flavor better.
• Cream cheese – I always soften mine first so it blends in smoothly.
• Mozzarella cheese – Melty, gooey goodness. I sometimes add a little extra on top before baking.
• Buffalo wing sauce – I’m partial to Frank’s Buffalo Wings Sauce — not regular hot sauce, which can be too sharp. Buffalo sauce gives that buttery tang you want in this dip.
• Ranch dressing – Adds creamy, herby depth that cools the heat and ties everything together.

I’ve also made this with a mix of ranch and blue cheese dressing for a more traditional wing flavor — highly recommend if you’re a blue cheese fan.

HOW TO MAKE BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

Here’s my real-life kitchen method:

1. Prep the chicken
Remove the skin and shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces. I usually use the breast meat and some thigh for a juicier bite.

2. Mix the filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese (softened and cubed), shredded mozzarella, buffalo sauce, and ranch. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix everything until it’s evenly coated and creamy. It should look a little messy — that’s okay.

3. Bake
Spread the mixture into a baking dish (an 8×8 works well). I sometimes sprinkle a little more mozzarella on top for that extra golden cheesy layer. Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until bubbling and hot.

4. Serve
Right out of the oven, it’s molten hot and so good. I always serve it warm with a variety of dippers — more on that below.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

This dip is a blank canvas when it comes to sides. Here’s what I usually set out:

• Tortilla chips – Always a hit and hold up well to the thick, cheesy dip.
• Celery sticks – For crunch and to balance the heat.
• Carrot sticks – Slightly sweet and perfect with the buffalo flavor.
• Crackers – Ritz, club crackers, or even pretzel chips.
• Toasted baguette slices – My favorite if I’m going a little fancier.

Sometimes I even make little slider buns and serve this like a cheesy buffalo chicken sandwich filling.

MAKE-AHEAD TIPS

Yes — this dip is totally make-ahead friendly.

Here’s how I do it:

• Mix everything as instructed and spread into a baking dish.
• Cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• When ready to bake, pull it out while the oven preheats.
• Remove the plastic wrap, bake as directed, and add an extra 5 minutes if needed to make sure it’s hot and bubbly.

This makes entertaining so much easier — and it’s also a great way to prep a snack ahead for movie night or weekend guests.
