How to make gluten-free buffalo chicken dip?

  1. Start with cooked and shredded chicken.
  2. Mix together the cream cheese, wing sauce, ranch, hot sauce, and spices.
  3. Add the chicken to the cheese mixture.
  4. Transfer to a baking dish and top with additional cheese.
  5. Bake and enjoy!
Steps for making buffalo chicken dip starting with mixing the sauce, adding the cheese, then the chicken and baking until it's bubbly.

Can you make buffalo chicken dip in the crockpot?

Since this gluten-free buffalo chicken dip starts with already cooked chicken, it makes it really easy to cook in the crockpot. Just throw everything to make this buffalo chicken into the crockpot and let it cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 1-2 hours. You will know the buffalo chicken dip is done when the cream cheese looks fully melted. I like to add a little extra shredded cheese on top and let it melt before serving.

Bufalo chicken dip FAQ

Is buffalo chicken dip Spicy?

In my opinion, Steve's Paleo Sauce (the one I use) is not spicy; it has smoky heat. Different buffalo sauces will have different levels of spicy. Pick a buffalo sauce that has your preferred level of heat.

Why is your buffalo chicken dip runny?

Make sure you are using full-fat cream cheese for this recipe. Low-fat cream cheese does not hold as well and can make this gluten-free chicken dip softer.

Why is my buffalo chicken dip greasy?

Make sure you have mixed the dip enough. If yours comes out greasy it is likely that it was not mixed enough and the ingredients have become separated while it was cooking. Try mixing it up some more to help blend the ingredients together.

What is the easiest way to shred chicken?

If you have a stand mixer and you're not using it to shred your chicken you are missing out. Toss a few chicken breasts into the bowl of the stand mixer with the flat paddle and turn it on low. Gradually increase the speed until all the chicken is magically shredded.

How long does buffalo chicken dip last?

This gluten-free buffalo chicken dip will last in a container in the fridge for about 3-5 days.

What is the best way to reheat buffalo chicken dip?

While I actually like this gluten-free buffalo chicken dip cold, you can easily microwave it in 30-second increments until it is warmed through. You might notice the buffalo chicken dip looks a little greasy when it is warmed up but just stir it back together and that will go away.

Can you make buffalo chicken dip ahead of time?

Yes, you can! Put the buffalo chicken dip together and put it in the fridge till you are ready to bake it off.

Can you freeze buffalo chicken dip?

If you want to make it even earlier you can place the unbaked dip into a freezer-safe container for up to two months. When you are ready to eat it, let it defrost in the fridge overnight before baking like it was fresh and enjoying.
