Ingredients for Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Dip?
- Chicken: Shredded rotisserie chicken or any type of pre-cooked chicken works well for this.
- Cream Cheese: My favorite is whipped cream cheese because it’s light and fluffy and already soft so it is easy for mixing or spreading onto bagels. That is why I chose to use this in my dip.
- Buffalo Sauce I always buy Franks, it’s pretty low in points already and you can have quite a bit for only 0 points.
- Ranch Bolt House Farms Greek Style Ranch Dressing is my favorite Ranch dressing to get at the stores. You can use that or a packet 1 oz dry seasoning mix.
How to Make Buffalo Chicken Dip
Step 1 Preheat oven to 350°. Mix together the cream cheese, chicken, wing sauce, and ranch dressing into a bowl. Or preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees.
Step 2 Pour into an ungreased shallow 1-qt. baking dish. Spread cheese on top.
Step 3 Bake, uncovered, 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted. This takes about the same time to air fry as well.
Recipe Tips
- Add chopped green onions or blue cheese crumbles on top.
- You can prep it ahead and just air fry when ready to serve.
- Leftovers? This buffalo chicken dip is great in these Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Taquitos or over a baked potato or even on this pizza Weight Watchers Buffalo Chicken Pizza
- Preheating ensures that the fries cook evenly and achieve the desired crispiness.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Cooking in smaller batches will help the fries cook more evenly and get crispier.
- Shaking the Basket: Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps ensure that all the fries cook evenly.
- Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or Cajun spice to add an extra kick to your fries.
