Buffalo Chicken Dip – because the last time I ate Buffalo wings in public, I looked like a baby that had gone face-first into mashed carrots.
Not a good look.
Moving forward, I promise to do more mindful party eating and come packing wet wipes.
OR, I’ll make this dip my new ride or die and not have to worry about it anymore.
Warning: If you bring this Keto Buffalo Chicken Dip to a party or tailgate – you will be asked to bring it again.
I guess what I’m saying is if you’re trying to fly under the radar at potlucks – keep this one at home:)
Seriously, everybody loves this dip – not just those of us counting carbs! (2.6 net per serving)
Plus – it’s easy to put together – in the crockpot, oven, or microwave.
Big bonus: You can make it ahead or at the last minute—it should take 35 minutes in the oven and 2-3 hours in the slow cooker.
Keto Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients
Chicken—Use leftovers if you have them! Or make it ahead. On meal prep day, you can cook a whole chicken in your Instant Pot and shred it or bake it in the oven. You can also boil 5-6 chicken breasts and shred them. I use a hand mixer to shred chicken fast. You can also use a Rotisserie chicken to save time.
Cream Cheese – If you’re prepping ahead – go ahead and set this out to soften – not mandatory.
Cheddar – It’s always better to shred a block than use pre-shredded because packaged shredded cheese has a few additives (and carbs)
Monterey Jack-Shredded is ok, but the block is better.
Crumbled Blue Cheese—If you don’t have any good crumbled Blue Cheese, you can substitute it with ½ cups Blue Cheese Dressing + ½ cup mozzarella.
Frank’s Hot Sauce—The Original Buffalo Chicken Hot Sauce—I used Frank’s, but you can swap it for your favorite.
Chopped Celery gives it a little crunch, and it only takes a minute to rinse and chop.
Green Onions – Green Chiles – Jalapeno Slices – Crumbled Bacon – For Garnish – Optional!
How Buffalo Chicken Became A Thing
The year was 1964, and Teressa Bellissimo (owner of Anchor Bar Buffalo, New York) got crafty with chicken wings after her son Dominic asked her for a snack to pass around the bar at midnight.
Either out of frugality or brilliance, she grabbed some wings—a part of the chicken that folks were throwing away back then—deep-fried them, covered them in hot sauce, and served ’em up with celery stalks and blue cheese dressing.
They were a hit. Word spread quickly, and that’s how Buffalo Chicken Wings became a thing.
Serving Size & Suggestions
Count on this recipe serving 10 – 12 people – depending on how big the serving spoon is:) If you’re making this dip for a party, you may want to double up – you won’t regret it. It’s fabulous with celery, keto chips, or pork rinds.
