This Buffalo Chicken Dip starts with a beautifully creamy base of ranch dressing that the entire dip is based on. I don’t know about you but in my house growing up there wasn’t any better flavor than buffalo chicken and ranch dressing. It reigned supreme fo sho!
I love starting this dip with a base of homemade ranch dressing because it builds the flavor in just the right way. And what’s better than ranch dressing? Nothing if you ask me.
So we start by mixing together the mayonnaise and buttermilk with the ranch dressing mix. I like buying the big container of ranch seasoning at Costco because I season my veggies and many other things with it too.
Then I add in the meat of one shredded rotisserie chicken, buffalo sauce and some cheddar and blue cheeses. Finish with a gentle fold of green onions and it is ready to bake. This recipe fills a deep pie dish perfectly.
Top the dip with a sprinkle of cheddar or colby jack cheese to give it a nice crisp topping while it bakes. My favorite way to eat this is with Fritos scoops, but it is equally good spread on French bread or with any type of corn chips.
