Why You’ll Love This Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip Recipe
- Buffalo Wings in a Bowl – This dish gives you all that hot, delicious flavor you love in traditional wings, plus the richness of 3 cheeses and Ranch mix, but in a creamy dip that’s made for sharing!
- Perfect Party Food – Serve Franks buffalo wing dip with plenty of crunchy chips and veggies at game day, movie night, or any casual gathering, and watch it disappear!

And bonus – no messy hands! Because this is a scoop-able dip versus traditional saucy chicken wings, guests can snack away without using every napkin in the house. Win!
Ingredients and Tips
- Cheeses – We’re using 3 types of cheese here: Rich cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled blue cheese on top. The blue cheese is optional, but it really pulls the whole chicken wing vibe together.
- Chopped Cooked Chicken -This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken or shredded chicken!
- Cayenne Pepper Sauce – Franks Red Hot is the best hot sauce for buffalo chicken dip, in my opinion. But you can use any similar spicy wing sauce you like!
- Sour Cream – This gives the dip a signature tangy taste and creamy consistency, and helps to balance the spiciness from the hot sauce. You can use greek yogurt if you prefer!
- Ranch Dressing Mix – The secret ingredient to give our baked buffalo chicken dip a boldly savory, vibrant flavor that really takes the taste to the next level of chicken wing-ness.
- Scallions – We stir fresh chopped scallions right into the dip before baking, then add some extra on top for a nice pop of freshness!
- Dippers – Serve with any kind of dipper you like. Consider celery sticks, carrot sticks, crackers, tortilla chips, potato chips, and more!
How to Make Franks Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip

Storage Notes
- Storing Leftovers – Once cooled, transfer the dip to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezing – I don’t recommend freezing chicken wing dip, as cream cheese-based dishes don’t tend to thaw and reheat well.
- Reheating – You can reheat leftovers in the microwave. Or transfer them to an oven-safe dish and bake at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the dip warm with all kinds of dippers like tortilla chips, pita chips, crostini, or fresh cut vegetables. This chicken wing dip stays saucy enough to even be served at room temperature!
Frequently Asked Questions
Technically, yes, you can, but the flavor really is best using freshly cooked chicken (or cooked within the last day or two).

We made this on Monday for Memorial Day dinner. It disappeared in about 15 minutes! So delicious and easy to make.
Super easy to make and loaded with flavor! I served it with tortilla chips and celery sticks, and there wasn’t a single bite left.
I’ve tried a lot of buffalo chicken dips, and this one is hands-down the best. The flavor is bold, the texture is creamy, and it was gone in no time.
This dip is insanely good! Everyone raved about it at our football party – rich, spicy, and perfectly cheesy. A new go-to appetizer!
