Description

This Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Dip is a creamy, spicy appetizer perfect for parties or game day. Made with tender shredded rotisserie chicken, zesty Frank’s RedHot sauce, and melty Colby Jack cheese, it comes together quickly in the Instant Pot for a warm, crowd-pleasing dip that’s easy to serve with chips or veggies.


Ingredients

Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked rotisserie chicken
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Sauce
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Colby Jack cheese, divided


Instructions

  1. Mix the base: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, Frank’s RedHot sauce, sour cream, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Then fold in the shredded rotisserie chicken along with half of the shredded Colby Jack cheese.
  2. Prepare for cooking: Transfer the creamy chicken mixture into an Instant Pot-safe baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Colby Jack cheese evenly over the top. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to prevent water from getting in.
  3. Set up the Instant Pot: Place the trivet inside the Instant Pot and pour the 1/4 cup water into the bottom of the pot. Carefully place the covered baking dish onto the trivet.
  4. Pressure cook: Seal the Instant Pot lid and set it to manual high pressure for 7 minutes. This will heat the dip through and melt the cheese to a perfect gooey consistency.
  5. Release pressure and serve: Allow the pressure to release naturally to keep the dip creamy and prevent splattering. Carefully remove the baking dish, uncover, and serve the buffalo chicken dip hot with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • Using room temperature cream cheese helps the mixture blend smoothly without lumps.
  • If you prefer a milder dip, reduce the hot sauce to 1/4 cup.
  • For extra flavor, add chopped green onions or a sprinkle of paprika on top before serving.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
