Buffalo chicken dip with blue cheese is one of my favorite game day dips and it’s so easy to make! I’m definitely a fan of buffalo wings, so I love packing all those flavors into one creamy appetizer. Shredded rotisserie chicken, cream cheese, blue cheese, and hot sauce bake up into this easy buffalo dip in about 30 minutes. And I’ve added a couple of lighter swaps to make this recipe for buffalo chicken wing dip a littler healthier too!
Buffalo Chicken Dip with Blue Cheese
I made this baked buffalo chicken dip recipe with rotisserie chicken for convenience, and lots of blue cheese crumbles because I love its unique flavor. It only takes 5 simple ingredients and a couple of spices from the cabinet. And I love that I can make this dip with leftover chicken if I have some in my fridge.
I also wanted to make it a little lighter for guilt-free snacking on game day, so I use Greek yogurt and light cream cheese. That brings this dip to just 130 calories per serving! But if you aren’t worried about that, you can go the traditional route and use blue cheese dressing for this buffalo wing dip instead of yogurt to really get a flavor punch.
Variations To Try
Obviously I really like the flavor of blue cheese, but you can just as easily make this buffalo chicken wing dip without it. Replace it with feta or goat cheese crumbles, or skip them entirely. You can sprinkle shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or another cheese on top as well.

How to Store and Reheat
Store buffalo blue cheese chicken dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven until fully warmed through; or in the microwave in 30-second intervals. It can also be served cold, straight from the fridge.
I generally don’t recommend freezing this dip because of the creamy dairy ingredients (yogurt and cream cheese), which don’t reheat well.
Make Ahead
There’s really not much to do to make this buffalo chicken dip ahead of time since it’s so simple to throw together. However, I do sometimes combine the ingredients and place them in a baking dish, then cover it and keep it in the fridge a few hours before a party. That way it’s ready to go right into the oven as soon as guests show up!
