Vegan Buffalo Chicken Dip
After seeing many blog posts from over the years on vegan chicken dip aka vegan buffalo chicken dip, I decided to finally give it a try. What could possibly be bad about (plant based) cream cheese, blue cheese, plant based chicken and most importantly hot sauce?
I kid you not: seconds after this came out of the oven a certain greedy foodie grabbed for a cracker and dipped. And smiled. And completely burned her mouth. Then took another piece. And blew…and got burnt again. Don’t worry, I didn’t repeat this.
But this buffalo chicken dip is all sorts of amazing. I’m throwing all legal grammar out the window to say: YOU GOTTA MAKE THIS. I’m not sure what happened…I woke up from a daze and realized I had eaten way too much (after it cooled down a little). Rave reviews all around, and a pack of crackers later, I would give this 5 stars.
Let’s talk about the ingredients for buffalo chicken dip. The plant based chicken is so easy to shred – all you need is tear it with a fork or your hands. Voila. The mixes of vegan cheeses are the best combination and you will thank yourself for buying that vegan blue cheese.
The hot sauce. Do NOT put less than the 10 ounces. I used about 5 ounces saying oh come on 10 ounces is ridiculous. The dip was slightly spicy. For Sunday, I will be ouncing-it-up *insert lame smile here*. The combination is great. I also broiled the top of mine so I got a nice bubbly and brown cheesy top. I have no regrets from making this beauty.
Got a Super Bowl party? This is a staple that is needed. I will definitely be remaking buffalo chicken dip for the Super Bowl party I’m attending.

ma’am…i dunno what a superbowl is :/ but this dip sounds like fatty foodie heaven. didn’t i say i was staying away from this blog??? ugh
This IS a fatty foodie heaven. I died and went to it!
I will have to disagree with the 10 oz. if hot sauce. My husband and I like our spicy foods including wings. I used a 6oz. Bottle of Louisiana hot sauce and that was mui caliente!
Hi kwgal13,
Thanks so much for your feedback! This is such an old recipe, and I don’t eat chicken anymore, so I wouldn’t even be able to re make it and adjust! I’ve adjusted the hot sauce amount though, in light of your comment!
