The delicious taste of a rotisserie chicken, savoriness from the melted cheeses, kick from the hot sauce ranch mix and smokiness from the charcoal make this recipe a ultimate crowd pleaser. This dip is super easy to make with a few shortcuts along the way to make the process even faster.
Ways to prepare chicken.
The beauty about this dish aside from it tasting amazing are the shortcuts you can take depending how much or little you want to prepare in advance.
Chicken options include a store bought chicken, homemade rotisserie, grilled chicken breast or spatchcock. No matter the method, this dip will be a hit.
For a purchased precooked rotisserie chicken, which is what I did for this recipe, shred all the meat off the chicken, including the flavorful skin, and place it into a casserole dish.

Once you have your chicken cooked, shredded and in the casserole dish, add in the hot sauce, ranch dressing and ranch seasoning.
Let’s get cheesy
To make this dip super cheesy and gooey, a good variety of cheeses is recommended. Add an entire block of cream cheese and sour cream which will help give it a creamy texture. Next add in shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. You can shred off the block or use pre-shredded store bought bags. I used a mix of both.
Time to grill the Buffalo Chicken Dip.
Pre-heat the grill to 350 degrees and set for indirect heat. Halfway through the cook, mix in the melting cheese with all the ingredients. Total cook time is 15-20 minutes.
Remove the Buffalo Chicken Dip off the grill, drizzle some more hot sauce, ranch dressing and green onions and go right for the first dip. Enjoy!
