Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip

It’s football season again, and I don’t know what is more popular for game-day food other than buffalo wings. I do love buffalo wings, but I don’t like how messy they are.

That’s why this buffalo chicken dip is a perfect gluten-free appetizer. All the flavors you love of buffalo wings without all the mess.

Not only does this dip taste just like buffalo wings, but an added bonus is that this dip is made in less than 30 minutes!

How To Make Buffalo Chicken Dip

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and spray an 8″ × 8″ casserole dish with gluten-free nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, add chicken, using a fork to shred it into small pieces.
  • Add mayonnaise, ranch dressing, and hot sauce and stir to combine.
  • Transfer to a prepared baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate.
  • Reheat in the microwave or oven.

Can I make this buffalo chicken dip recipe ahead of time?

You sure can! Mix all the dip ingredients together, cover with wrap and store in the refrigerator up to 2 days. When you are ready to bake the dip, just remove from the refrigerator, remove the wrap and bake.

Can I make this recipe with blue cheese dressing instead?

You sure can! I love blue cheese dressing with wings. My family just prefers the ranch dressing over the blue cheese dressing. I can also find dairy-free ranch dressing, so I easily make my own.

You could even use half ranch and half blue cheese dressing. Or, even top the buffalo chicken dip with crumbled blue cheese too.

Can I use a different type of chicken in the recipe?

I buy the large cans of canned chicken breasts at Walmart and keep them in my pantry. If you want to use freshly shredded chicken, you could do that as well.

This dip recipe would be a perfect way to use leftover chicken. Another easy option would be to use rotisserie chicken as well.

What Do You Serve with Buffalo Chicken Dip?

My family loves the Schär Entertainment Crackers with this buffalo chicken dip. These gluten-free crackers have a rich and buttery flavor, but they also don’t crumble when you add the dip on top. It makes for a perfect bite!

The Entertainment Crackers are not hard like some other gluten-free crackers on the market. They have an amazing texture and flavor. Not only are they certified gluten-free, but they are also lactose-free and Non-GMO.

I also love that I can easily find Schär gluten-free products at Walmart and my local grocery store. You can order them from their website or use their store locator to find a store that carries them near you.

  1. Love this recipe!! I add shredded cheddar cheese to ours, otherwise I follow the recipe as written and we LOVE it!

  2. This dip is FANTASTIC!! The first time I made this, it literally disappeared in 20 minutes…I didn’t even get to taste it! I have made it many, many times since, and now I always double the recipe. I serve it with tortilla chips and veggies to give guests the option. I use Daiya Homestyle Ranch dressing and Frank’s Hot Sauce. Rarely do I have leftovers, but if I do it is just as great the next day. Thank you for such an easy and delicious recipe!!
