Print Recipe

A warm, cheesy, and mildly spicy buffalo chicken dip with a fun spiderweb design that kids adore. Made with budget-friendly pantry staples, it comes together in 30 minutes and is perfect for game days, parties, or family snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (12.5 oz each) canned chicken breast, drained
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon buffalo sauce (optional, for spiderweb)
  • Tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, or crackers for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Soften cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes or microwaving for 15-20 seconds on low.
  3. Drain canned chicken and flake with a fork.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, drained chicken, 1/2 cup buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, cheddar, and mozzarella. Mix until well combined.
  5. Transfer mixture to a 9-inch pie plate or small baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, until hot and bubbly around the edges.
  7. While dip bakes, stir together sour cream, milk, and optional 1 teaspoon buffalo sauce in a small bowl until smooth.
  8. Let dip cool for 2-3 minutes after baking. Spoon sour cream mixture into a piping bag or zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off.
  9. Pipe concentric circles of sour cream mixture onto the dip, starting from the center and working outward. Use a toothpick or knife to drag lines from the center outward through all circles, creating a spiderweb pattern.
  10. Serve immediately with chips, celery, carrots, or crackers.

Notes

For a milder dip, reduce buffalo sauce to 1/4 cup. For a spicier version, add cayenne pepper or use hotter sauce. The dip can be assembled (without spiderweb) up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated. Reheat in oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
