Smoked Buffalo Chicken Dip
Creamy smoked chicken dip with buffalo kick.
Jump to RecipeThis dip takes smoked chicken from side dish to party star. The smoke flavor adds a dimension that regular recipes can't match. It's creamy, spicy, and absolutely addictive - the bowl always gets scraped clean.
This is the ultimate party dip - perfect for game day, casual gatherings, or any event where people will be snacking. It's always a hit and people always ask for the recipe.
Serve with tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, and plenty of napkins. Crackers work too. Set it up near the TV for game day or as part of an appetizer spread. It stays warm in a slow cooker.
Adjust the heat level by varying the buffalo sauce amount. Add more ranch for creaminess, more cheese for richness. Some like to add blue cheese crumbles on top. Make it your own.
Smoking the dip itself adds another layer of flavor beyond just using smoked chicken. The cheese gets all melty and the edges crispy. Don't skip this step - it makes a difference.
