Let’s talk about game-day food. I’ve made a lot of dips in my life, but this Buffalo Chicken Dip is hands-down one of my favorites. It’s creamy, cheesy, loaded with bold buffalo flavor, and best of all, it’s ridiculously easy to make.
Whether you’re throwing a party, watching football, or just in the mood for something indulgent, this dip delivers every time. And if you love that Buffalo hot sauce flavor, I’m confident you’ll also love my Buffalo Cauliflower Bites!
This recipe was originally published in February 2015 but I’ve updated it with new photos and additional information to make the recipe as easy to follow as possible!
What Makes This Dip So Good?
- Boursin Cheese – This is the game-changer. Most buffalo dips stick with cream cheese, but Boursin melts like a dream and adds an herby, salty depth that takes it to the next level.
- Buffalo Sauce – I always use Frank’s Red Hot because it brings the perfect tang and just enough heat.
- Shredded Chicken – Rotisserie chicken works great, but if you’re up for it, roasting your own chicken makes it even better. (Skip the canned stuff—trust me.)
- Bleu Cheese Dressing – Gives you that classic buffalo wing flavor in dip form. Even if you’re not a bleu cheese fan, it just works here. I love the stuff in the glass jar in the refrigerator section, but I’ve also made my own homemade bleu cheese dressing for when I make Cobb Salad.

Wondering How to Make It?
Always refer to the recipe card below, but here’s the gist of it:
Step 1: Combine everything in a saucepan
Stir over medium heat until smooth and melty.
Step 2: Keep it warm
Transfer everything to a slow cooker on the warm setting or serve straight from the pot.
Garnish & serve
Top with bleu cheese crumbles and green onions.
Recipe Tips
- Want it spicier? Add a little cayenne pepper.
- Making it ahead? Store in an airtight container and reheat on the stove or in a crockpot.
- Not a fan of bleu cheese? Swap it for ranch dressing—it’s just as good!
Perfect Pairings
This dip is rich, creamy, and bold, so pair it with something crunchy or fresh to balance it out. Celery and carrot sticks are a classic move, but baguette slices, crackers, pretzels, or tortilla chips work great too.

I tried this recipe for Super Bowl Sunday. I used a rotisserie chicken and chopped up 2 cups of the meat. I followed the directions to cook on stove. I made the dip earlier than guests arrived and put in the crock pot on warm and then low nearer to time of guests arrival. There was a TON of grease! I used a baster to skim the grease off the top. The dip needed constant stirring. Regardless, the flavor was delicious and heartily eaten by all guests. I just wish I knew what created all that grease. I thought it was the rotisserie chicken. Not sure. I will, however, use boiled chicken next time. Maybe it was the Marie’s bleu cheese dressing????
Hmmm. I wonder if increasing the heat to low made the fat separate? I know if I heat full fat things like alfredo sauce and they get to hot, there is a lot of grease. Might have been the dressing too? Not sure.
I use Franks Hot Sauce a TON and love it. Looking forward to trying this buffalo chicken dip for my guys over the holidays!
I could seriously make a meal out of this! It sounds so tasty and comforting!
