If you’re looking for the perfect dip to take to a party, potluck, family gathering—or honestly just to enjoy on the couch while watching a movie—this Homemade Chicken Crack Dip is it.

It’s creamy, spicy (but not too spicy), cheesy, and unbelievably easy to whip together. This is one of those dips that disappears FAST. Like… blink and it’s gone.

I’ve been making this for years using my own canned chicken, but store-bought canned chicken works perfectly too. The real magic is in the creamy base and the buffalo sauce that brings everything to life.

🧡 How to Soften Your Cream Cheese

Cream cheese MUST be softened or it won’t blend smoothly.

• Leave it on the counter for 1–2 hours OR
• Microwave for 10–15 seconds at a time until soft (not melted)

🍗 How to Make Chicken Crack Dip

1. Mix the base

Add softened cream cheese and sour cream to your mixer bowl.
I use my KitchenAid for this because my arms get tired, and cream cheese sometimes fights back. 😂
Blend until completely smooth—no clumps.

2. Add the chicken, cheese & hot sauce

Mix in:

• Your canned chicken
• A handful of shredded cheese
• Frank’s Buffalo Hot Sauce

Start with ¼ cup of hot sauce if you’re unsure. You can always add more!
At home I add way more because that’s how my daughter likes it.

Mix again until everything is fully combined. Mixy mixy!

3. Bake

Spread your dip into a casserole dish.
Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes or until it’s hot and bubbly around the edges.

(Yes, 400° for 15 minutes is perfect!)
