Healthy Buffalo Chicken Dip (2024)

FAQs

How many calories is Buffalo chicken dip? ›

This Buffalo Chicken Dip recipe is an easy classic that features three different layers of flavors including chicken (use canned or rotisserie!) mixed with your favorite buffalo sauce (I always go for Frank's RedHot!), cream cheese, ranch dressing and, of course, lots of cheese!

Buffalo chicken dip, by itself, is usually gluten-free. Typical ingredients include: chicken, cream cheese, ranch dressing, hot sauce, cheese, celery but you still need to check out the labels (especially on the ranch dressing).

The kick of spicy foods can also actively assist healthy weight-loss. Studies have shown that capsaicin, the active ingredient in chilies and hot sauce, can speed metabolism, helping your body to burn calories even faster.

The practical reason is that the majority of hot sauce ingredients are very low in calories: water, vinegar, salt, spices, hot peppers, preservatives, and most of the other caloric ingredients are in such relatively small amounts that they do not provide many calories.

The namesake of this sassy sauce isn't up for debate: Food historians agree that the peppery condiment originated in the city of Buffalo, a thriving town in upstate New York known for its severe winter weather, popular football franchise, and proximity to Niagara Falls.

Store leftover buffalo chicken dip in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Make sure it has fully cooled first. To reheat, place in the oven at a low temperature (around 300F) for about 20 minutes.

Based on the ingredients, the mixture should keep in the refrigerator for at least a few days. The dip can be served cold or, if preferred, baked till hot in a shallow casserole dish. For dipping, offer corn chips, ideally with low salt. Place cream cheese, unwrapped, in a large mixing bowl to warm and soften.

Why is my buffalo chicken dip so runny? ›

Buffalo chicken dip can be runny if you use a reduced fat cream cheese. It can also be runny if you use too much ranch dressing or not enough chicken. You can thicken the dip by adding more shredded chicken, or even more cubes of full fat cream cheese or even more shredded cheddar cheese.

Buffalo chicken dip lasts for up to four days—if you're lucky enough to end up with leftovers, that is! Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Warm leftover dip in the microwave or oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°.
