Ingredient Substitutions

• Cheese: Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or pepper jack can replace Colby Jack for a different flavor profile.
• Blue Cheese Dressing: If you do not prefer blue cheese, just add the equivalent of ranch dressing.
• Buffalo Wing Sauce – Any brand works; choose mild or hot depending on your heat preference.

How to Prepare Buffalo Chicken Dip

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing and buffalo wing sauce. Mix until smooth and well combined.
3. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and one cup of the shredded cheese, until evenly coated.
4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Colby Jack cheese evenly over the top.
6. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly and the cheese is fully melted.
7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving with tortilla chips, toasted baguette slices, and celery sticks.

How to Serve and Store

• Serve this creamy buffalo chicken dip warm, straight from the baking dish, with a variety of dippers like tortilla chips, toasted baguette, celery sticks, or crackers.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or microwave in short intervals, stirring between each.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Should I add more buffalo wing sauce? If you prefer a stronger buffalo flavor, you can add an additional 1–2 tablespoons of buffalo wing sauce, without affecting the texture. Stir it in before baking.
• Can I make this ahead of time? Yes. Assemble the dip up to a day in advance, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
• Can I make this in a slow cooker instead? Yes. Combine all ingredients except the reserved cheese in a slow cooker and cook on low until hot and creamy, then top with cheese and allow it to melt before serving.
• Can I make my own chicken instead of using rotisserie? Yes. Cook and shred about 1½ pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs by baking, poaching, or using the slow cooker. Allow the chicken to cool slightly before shredding and adding it to the dip.

WELCOME! My name is Melissa Latin aka. Charlotte Fashion Plate. Happy to meet you! I am more than just recipes. I love fashion and style too! Most importantly, I love my Family (my Hubby and my Fur Babies). My Husband (aka my “Kitchen Bitch”) means the world to me. He’s pretty damn cool too. Not only is he one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, he also has had a lengthy career in professional hockey. Not only winning two Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the early ’90’s, but most recently winning the Calder Cup with the Charlotte Checkers, amongst many other accolades. If you live in Charlotte and play hockey, or have a family member who plays, be sure to contact him!

Our life has changed dramatically in the past few years with the passing of our two goldendoodles, Vegas and Viva. We were lucky enough to have Vegas for five years (totally wish it was longer). Most recently, losing our Viva to a brain tumor in July of 2020. We welcomed our mini goldendoodle 7, almost seven years ago. We just added the amazing Hazel! Of course, I am always posting tons and tons of photos! Be sure to check out my recipe for Pet Bone Broth! This broth is super rich in nutrients and will provide your pet with a multitude of health benefits!

In addition, I’m so very excited to announce I have published my first e-book and paperback, “Mastering Thanksgiving – A Guide to Perfecting Your Thanksgiving Dinner.” Your support would mean the world to me.
