Can you freeze this dip?

I do not recommend baking this dip and then freezing it. The texture is not great when it is heated after freezing. If you want to prep it ahead of time I would mix the ingredients and store in an airtight container. Honestly, though, it is super easy recipe to pull together in less than ten minutes if you used the canned chicken so I don't think it's worth it. If you are using your own shredded chicken then possibly it could be worth it to mix ahead of time and freeze or just defrost your chicken before assembling the dip day of your party.

What kind of chicken can I use?

You can use a lot of different types of chicken, as long as it is shredded. I made this recipe with canned chicken for ease but you can substitute shredded baked chicken breasts , rotisserie chicken, slow cooked chicken, or poached chicken. You could even make this with leftover Thanksgiving turkey!

Why does my buffalo chicken dip come out greasy?

If it is overcooked the oil will separate from the cheese and cause the dip to come out greasy.

Can I use a different kind of cheese than cheddar?

Yes, Colby Jack or a Mexican blend cheese would work perfectly in this recipe.

Can this be made in the slow cooker?

Yes! You can easily make crock pot Buffalo Chicken Dip in the slow cooker! Making this in a Crock-Pot is an easy way to prep ahead of time and makes it easy to double or triple the recipe as well. To make slow cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip simply mix all the ingredients in the slow cooker and set on low heat for two hours, then keep it on the warm setting during your party of gathering so it stays warm.

How do you store/reheat leftover dip?

Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator up to 3 days. To reheat, remove plastic wrap and transfer to an oven safe dish. Tent the top of the dish with foil. Heat in the oven at 350 degrees until warmed through.
