My husband requests this idea all the time. We love the buffalo sauce and ranch dressing combination with the ranch dressing so much! It reminds us of our favorite buffalo chicken dip, and is so easy to make. You’ll love it!
Looks yummy and so simple…. will definetly try it. THANKS.
Sure!
Yum! Im going to use my FREE Franks Sriracha that I scored at Publix today. 🙂
I LOVE Publix when I visit my sister in Orlando! So jelly-wish we had here in Minneapolis!!
Oh yum!
Looks like a great quick fix meal, thanks Lina!
Sure! Enjoy 😀
Sounds delicious and fast!
Do you think this would work with franks red hot or should I get some of the buffalo variety? I have a bunch of red hot from couponing that I would like to put to use, but I just don’t know if it will work out the same! The recipe looks so good, thank you Lina!!
I make it all the time with Franks red hot.
Thanks Sara, I will have to give it a try!!
If you mix it with butter, it is just like the wing sauce! Depending on how hot you would like it, you could try a 1:1 ratio at first, and add more of the hot sauce if you would like it spicier, and a bit more butter if you want too make it more mild! It is delicious#
I should also note this works best on the stove top. ;). Just melt the butter into the hot sauce. 🙂
T, thank you so much for this tip!! I will definitely be trying this! I love the red hot sauce, and love butter so it already sounds amazing 🙂
Yes I think it would be similar! You’re welcome – Enjoy. 😀
Is there a way to make a mild version of this dish? I love buffalo pizza at the pizza shop but sometimes find it too spicy.
You could maybe add less sauce or add in some honey or ketchup to taste. My kids don’t like hot wing sauce so sometimes I make a version with bbq sauce instead!
I found your recipe on Pinterest and made it tonight. Didn’t have cilantro but it was awesome! I cooked the chicken in my slow cooker w/a little Frank’s and then shredded it. I’ll definitely make it again! Thank you!
