This easy Buffalo chicken dip combines tender shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar, Tabasco Red Pepper Sauce, and Frank's RedHot Hot Sauce for a rich, spicy appetizer that's ready in minutes. Perfect for game days, parties, and potlucks, it's also delicious in wraps and sandwiches.
Place the cream cheese in a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave on high for approximately 20 to 30 seconds or until softened.
Add the drained canned chicken and use a fork to break it into smaller pieces.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, Tabasco Red Pepper Sauce, and Frank's RedHot Hot Sauce. Stir until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Cover the bowl loosely with a microwave-safe splatter cover.
Microwave on high for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, stirring every 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the dip is bubbling hot throughout. Continue heating in short intervals, as necessary, until the center reaches 165°F.
Stir until smooth and transfer to a serving bowl.
Garnish with sliced green onions, chopped parsley, or crumbled blue cheese, if desired.
Serve warm with celery sticks, tortilla chips, crackers, or pretzel flats.
