Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Buffalo Chicken Dip

All of the flavours of buffalo chicken wings in a hot cheesy dip!

Follow Me on Pinterest

It has been far too long since I last made a hot cheesy dip and I was getting cravings. With the long holiday weekend coming up it was the perfect time for a trial run of a new dip and I had just the idea, a buffalo chicken wing dip. The idea was to incorporate all of the flavours from your standard chicken wing pub fare into a hot cheesy dip. I started with your standard cheese dip ingredients including cream cheese and mayonnaise, though I cut back on the mayo by replacing a lot of it with sour cream. Next up was some chicken and hot sauce for the main flavours of the chicken wings followed by some blue cheese as wings are often served with a blue cheese dip. I finished the dip off with some cheddar cheese to give the dip a nice melted cheesy topping. The only decision left was what to serve with the dip for dipping and the obvious answer was the celery and carrot sticks that are commonly served with chicken wings. (Chips and crackers work as well!)
This buffalo chicken wing dip is so addictively good! Melted cheese along with chicken, hot sauce and the zing of the blue cheese is such an amazing combination of flavours! Even with the carrots and the celery sticks, this dip is not the healthiest snack around but it is ok to indulge every once in a while. It would probably be ok to go with light cream cheese and sour cream if you prefer.

All of that melted cheesy goodness tempers the heat of the hot sauce.

    I am loving the blue cheese in this as opposed to it being a cooling condiment. Never thought of doing a dip such as this. Will have to try this one.

    Oh, wow! This looks awesome. I can't wait to make this for my DH, who went to college in upstate New York.
    By the way, what holiday is coming up in Canada this weekend?
    (I love holidays and always make it a point to do something special for Chinese / lunar new year and for Bastille day, which is just around the corner. Any excuse for special foods is good enough for me.)

    Have a happy Canada Day tomorrow, Kevin! It's too hot here to make a tourtiere, so I think we'll celebrate with maple praline sundaes instead. How about you?

    This dip looks yummy! The only drawback is that I am not a huge fan of blue cheese so was wondering what I can add in place of the blue cheese. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Aggie: I would would keep things simple then and just replace the blue cheese with more cheddar cheese.

    Frith: Any hot sauce like Tabasco will work. Selection here is fairly limited so I tend to use Frank's Red Hot sauce. In a few weeks I will be heading down to New Orleans so I should be able to pick up a few new brands to try!

    Absolutely amazing photo for this recipe! My wife is against the use of mayonnaise in dishes (although I have put it in without her knowing a few times) so I usually just use cream cheese and blue cheese in my dip recipe. Might have to do it again 😉

    These dips are always the hit of a party, thanks for sharing your recipe.

    I can't stand the game, but I love game day food! This is right up my alley. As I sit here laid up with the second bad cold I've had all month, reading your blog is potentially therapeutic with sinus-clearing dip and chicken soup.

    Rebecca Hanson: Glad you enjoyed it! I have not actually tried freezing a cream cheese based dip like this before but I would say that it should be good to freeze since you are going to be reheating it.

    millysminikitchen: I am vegetarian and make my own variation of this with Quorn brand vegetarian chicken cutlets (thawed and pulsed in a food processor). The first time I made it was for a super bowl party. When I said it was vegetarian my friends were skeptical, but once they tasted it they said they couldn't even tell that it wasn't real chicken. Now they ask me to make it every year!

    Wonderful Added lemon and my hot sauce which is thicker and less vinegar than Frank’s. Didn’t need blue cheese in my opinion. Leftovers became corn tacos, shredded cabbage, roasted green peppers with smoked hot sauce. Keep it up K
