Tips for Making Smoked Buffalo Chicken Dip on the Pellet Grill or Smoker:

The first step is to cook the chicken breast or use already prepared shredded chicken. It’s best to add half the ranch seasoning to the chicken to add some flavor.

Once the chicken is cooked, then the remaining ingredients will all be combined in a large mixing bowl. If needed, use a handheld mixer to break apart the cream cheese. It should be at room temperature so that it easily mixes.

When ready to grill, use a cast iron skillet or a disposable aluminum pan that can go on the grill. We used 2 6-inch cast iron skillets to have dip for multiple tables of guests. It can be done though in a single skillet as well.

It’s best to use a block of cheese and grate it yourself with a cheese grater. The pre-shredded cheese has ingredients in it to avoid sticking together or melting together, so this does not melt as well as a block of cheese would.

How do you store leftover buffalo chicken dip?

Once the dip has cooled, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This Smoked Buffalo Chicken Dip is the ultimate way to combine classic buffalo flavor with a delicious, smoky twist. It’s easy to make, full of rich, bold flavors, and versatile enough to serve as an appetizer, a party dip, or even as a spread for sandwiches.
