    Expert Tips 

    • For a smooth and creamy texture for your dip, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients.
    • The flavor of your buffalo chicken dip will largely depend on the quality of the buffalo sauce you use. Choose a sauce with a good balance of heat and tanginess to give your dip a delicious flavor.
    • Use precooked rotisserie chicken if you don’t want to use canned chicken.
    • To serve your Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip, use tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables like celery and carrot sticks. The crunchy texture of the accompaniments will provide a nice contrast to the creamy dip.

    Variations

    • Add ranch dressing: For a tangy and creamy twist, add a few tablespoons of ranch dressing to the dip mixture before cooking.
    • Use different cheeses: Mix up the cheese by adding shredded cheddar, Monterrey Jack, or blue cheese to the dip mixture.
    • Make it spicier: If you like your buffalo chicken dip with a little extra heat, add some chopped jalapeño peppers or a few dashes of hot sauce to the mixture.
    • Bake it: After pressure cooking the dip, transfer it to a baking dish, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top, and bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: Store the buffalo dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Warm in the microwave or on the stove to heat through.

    Freezing: I don't recommend freezing this dip.

    Recipe FAQ's

    What goes well with buffalo dip?

    This dip is so versatile and can be served with almost anything! Some of my favorites include celery sticks, carrot sticks, bell pepper sticks, tortilla chips, crackers and bagel chips.

    What are good toppings for buffalo dip?

    Cheddar cheese melted on top or blue cheese crumbles sprinkled on top are both delicious! I also like thinly sliced green onions on top.

    Can I make buffalo dip in a slow cooker?

    Yes! Add all of the ingredients in the slow cooler and turn on low for 3 hours.

    Can I bake buffalo chicken dip in the oven?

    Definitely! Cut the cream cheese into cubes. Add them to a sauce pan with the buffalo sauce. Once the cream cheese is melted, stir in the chicken and celery. Transfer to a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees F for 20-30 minutes. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and broil for 2-3 minutes.

    What type of cream cheese should I use?

    For best results, use a full fat cream cheese. Reduced fat cream cheeses tend to separate during cooking.
