Buffalo chicken dip mimics the flavors of classic chicken wings, making it the perfect choice for game day!

Buffalo chicken dip is seriously everything you could ever want in a party dip. It's creamy, cheesy, a little spicy, and absolutely addictive. I'm telling you, one bite and you will want to keep dipping until it's gone.

Now usually, when you order buffalo wings at a restaurant, you can get them with a side of ranch or blue cheese. I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, so for this buffalo dip, I decided to incorporate ranch flavors instead. I love the buffalo ranch flavor combo, don't you?

If blue cheese is your thing, you could totally mix in some crumbled blue cheese before baking, but I'm sticking to the ranch.
