If you want to stick to a basic recipe for your buffalo chicken dip, TikToker @foodiefromvt has a great one. With just five ingredients, this recipe of shredded chicken, cream cheese, blue cheese or ranch dressing, hot sauce, and shredded cheese is an easy classic for any occasion.
TikTok content creator @cookwithauds added some additional ingredients to the normal buffalo chicken dip recipe. Add green onions, minced garlic, and some salt and pepper to add an additional kick to your dip.
While most traditional buffalo chicken dip recipes use a block of cream cheese, no worries if you don’t have one on hand.
