I don’t know about you, but it seems like my weekends revolve around football and tailgating food. Just one problem, we’re in the midst of the September Whole 30 and Whole 30 approved foods always seem to be lacking at the football watching parties.
This past weekend, I cooked up a Buffalo Chicken Dip to watch the games. Buffalo Chicken Dip is a quintessential tailgating food. Aside from its obvious tailgating appeal, it’s one of my favorite flavors. From salads to wraps and wings, it’s full of flavor and never disappoints.
Back to the dip, it was a hit.
Not only was it a hit for me, but it was a hit for everyone else, too. No one seemed to mind that it was lacking bottled dressings and copious amounts of cheese.
It’s super easy, like stupid easy but it packs a huge flavor punch.
I served it along side carrot and celery sticks, they made great dippers, but Allen ate it with chips and loved it that way, too!
I’ve had several questions about the mayo and buffalo sauce. You can find Primal Kitchens Mayo here and Tessemae’s Buffalo Sauce here.
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded (about 3 cups)
- 1 cup mayo ( I used Primal Kitchens)
- ¾ c buffalo sauce (I used Tessemae's)
- 3 tablespoons Ranch seasoning (see notes)
- Notes:
- **I use this recipes for my Ranch seasoning, I mix it up and always keep it on hand**
- 2 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp parsley
- 3 tsp dill weed
- 2 tsp dried chives
- 4 tsp garlic powder
- 4 tsp onion powder
- 4 tsp dried onion flakes
- 2 tsp black pepper
- Preheat oven to 350
- Mix all ingredients together.
- Pour into a 8X8
- Cook for about 30 minutes, or until the the edges are brown and bubbly.
Cook up a batch this weekend for a guilt free tailgating food!
Looks so good Jennifer. Love this use of rotisserie chicken. Grab a few cracker, chips, or veggies to make a quick meal.
Yum! I may need to try this for our next game night. We usually order pizza (which I’m not eating right now because I’m doing Whole 30), but this would be something that everyone would enjoy.
Are all the Ranch ingredients dried herbs?
Yes! 🙂
This is by far my most favorite while30 compliant recipe. I did not use all of the spices but still turned out amazing! Thank you for sharing
So happy to hear that! 🙂
So I made this thinking that everything listed, including the recipe for the ranch mix, into the meal, and it came out terrible, obviously. Maybe you need to remove the ranch recipe or the permade ranch dressing mix from the ingredients list.
Hi Megan! I’m a little confused, honestly, I’ve made this at least 2 dozen times and it never disappoints. Do you mean you added both the pre-made and the ranch? Just trying to figure out why it would have been terrible! So sorry it didn’t work…
It sounds like Megan used ALL of the Ranch seasoning ingredients, instead of using just 3 Tablespoons of it after the seasoning mix was made.
She didn’t realize the ranch mix was a separate recipe, and added it into the dip.
is there a sub for mayo? im doing paleo
You can make your own mayo OR use Primal Kitchens, it’s Paleo compliant!
Absolutely loved this dish! Buffalo chicken dip is a fan favorite in our house for game days and this recipe made it so easy to fill the craving while sticking to our Whole30 diet. Thank you for sharing!
Does anyone have the link to the ranch seasoning? It is not showing up within the recipe on my end.

My husband and I enjoyed this! I sort of eyeballed the amounts because I had less chicken, and it turned out great. Thanks for a fun recipe!
I have made this several times exactly as written and it is fantastic! Has anyone tried to make this in the crock pot? I was wanting to keep this warm for awhile.
I never leave comments, but thought I should for this recipe. I’m always trying out things I find on Pinterest and this is the first time where EVERYBODY at the party I went to absolutely LOVED the dish. Constant comments all night about how delicious it was and received an email this morning asking for the recipe. Big hit! I’ll be making it again!
Love this so much, Melanie! Thanks for sharing!!
