Buffalo chicken dips are often known to feed a crowd during game day celebrations but if your someone like me who doesn't watch too much sports, you can enjoy this dip for any large gatherings as it is a great appetizer that serves up to 15 people.

This low carb appetizer was inspired by my favorite Loaded Cauliflower Nachos recipe. Made with roasted cauliflower, taco meat and loads of shredded cheddar.

🥘 Ingredients Used

I used a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store to make this keto buffalo dip. Plus I added cream cheese, Franks Red Hot Sauce, ranch dressing and shredded cheddar cheese.

• Rotisserie Chicken: When I want chicken on it's own I usually buy a whole chicken and cook it myself but when it's an ingredient for a recipe I will simply pick one up.
• Cream cheese: for that mild sweet taste and pleasant tang makes this pie feel like a cheesecake. I use a full fat cream cheese.
• Franks Red Hot Sauce: this sauce has a rich, buttery flavour with a hint of heat which is why I like this sauce. It's not too hot which means most people can tolerate it.
• Ranch Dressing: I used a creamy ranch dressing for this which lends a hand to the creaminess of the dip
• Sour Cream: for that mild tart flavour and creaminess, this dip is so decadent

STEP 3: Preheat the oven to broil. Remove dip from instant pot and place in a large casserole dish that you can also use to serve. Top with remaining cheddar and place in oven on broil for 5 minutes just to get the cheese nice and bubbly.

• STEP 4: Remove the baking dish from oven and top with more green onions and blue cheese crumbles (optional) as a garnish.

👨🏻‍🍳 Substitutions and Variations

This keto buffalo chicken dip can be use in a variety of ways.

• Lasagna - use my low carb lasagna recipe but replace the meat and sauce with this dip.
• Nachos - scoop the dip onto low carb tortillas or pork rinds on a baking sheet, top with more cheese and bake them in the oven for 10 minutes.
• Toppings - top with fresh chopped chives or cilantro for added flavours.
• Cheese: use a white cheddar as a natural alternative to yellow cheddar

♨️ Top tips and serving suggestions

Top Tip: Make this dip ahead of time and place covered in the refrigerator just after cooking in the instant pot. When ready to serve place in a casserole dish, top with cheese and bake in the oven for 5-10 minutes and broil for 3-5 minutes.

Note: this dip will thicken as it cools, please check on it after serving and give it a mix, it also helps if you want to zap it in the microwave for 20 seconds.

• Serving: Serve this dip with low carb tortillas, cheese crisps, pork rinds and veggies like peppers, celery and carrots.
• Storage: if you have any leftovers you can store in the fridge in a covered container for up to 3 days. Warm up in the oven or microwave before consuming. I do not recommend freezing this dip.
