Rotisserie chicken makes this delicious Buffalo Chicken Dip fast and flavorful! This crowd-favorite dip always leaves friends begging for the recipe.
Buffalo chicken dip is often the ultimate go-to party dip, and for good reason too!
It’s insanely good rivaled only by how insanely easy it is to make.
Spicy + Speedy Rotisserie Buffalo Chicken Dip
Many versions rely on canned chicken but I find that snagging a rotisserie chicken is game-changing when it comes to this dip! The flavor just jumps out of the bowl!
Everyone knows how much of a staple Frank’s Red Hot sauce is when it comes to making the best of the best dips and, for us, Cabot’s Pepperjack cheese is *the* cheese to use in this dip!
It’s melty, flecked with peppers for extra flavor, and just overall deeeelicious!
Depending on how many people you’re serving you can halve the recipe for a small batch or double (or even triple!) it to serve a larger crowd.
We always make this dip for our game nights and it vanishes FAST!
We’ve never actually had leftovers make it to the fridge for the following day (I’m surrounded by savages – ha!) but leftovers can totally be saved and warmed up later.
You can even spread the leftover dip into a flour tortilla to make a buffalo chicken dip quesadilla the next day!
Make Ahead Tips
This dip can easily be made in advance!
Simply follow steps ………… and tightly cover dip and place in the fridge for 1-2 days before you need it. Then simply warm it up in the oven.

Questions & Reviews
You have perfected this! Perfect flavor and heat mix. It’s all gone!!
3/4 cup of franks caused my dip to be way too spicy and most at the Super Bowl party could not eat it. I like spicy but it was too much for me also. I feel that the amount should be 1/2 cup and add more if you like very hot.
This is always my fave at parties. Thanks for the recipe!!
Should Frank’s Hot Sauce or Buffalo Sauce be used in this recipe?
Thank you
Hi April! I use straight up Frank’s Red Hot Sauce but if you only have buffalo sauce (which is basically FRHS mixed with butter) then you can totally use it.
thank you, pepperjack has always been a favorite of mine, and good tip too about rotisserie vs canned or, some other kind of rubbery chickem, great dip!
My daughter and her boyfriend love making buffalo dip. I can’t wait to show them this recipe to try! They are to love it!
This delicious recipe looks perfect for a simple appetizer for a get together! So excited to try it!
So stoked for you to make it! Our friends and family go bonkers over this dip!
