buffalo chicken appetizer

An easy crowd-pleasing appetizer or a quick weeknight dinner, this buffalo chicken dip crescent ring is always a winner!

Buffalo Chicken Dip Crescent Ring

tubes (8 ounces each refrigerated crescent roll dough)

celery

½ cup buffalo wing sauce

cream cheese (at room temperature)

For serving: ranch salad dressing

Preheat oven to 375F (190C).

Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Unroll crescent roll dough; separate into 16 triangles. Overlap wide ends of each triangle to form a ring (dough will look like a sun when you’re finished). Lightly press the wide ends together.

In a separate bowl, stir together chicken, celery, and buffalo sauce.

In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese and dry Ranch seasoning powder. If your cream cheese is too cold, you can microwave it for about 15 seconds to soften (which will make it much easier to stir).

Add cream cheese mixture to the chicken mixture and stir until everything is completely combined.

Spoon chicken mixture over wide ends of dough. Fold the points of triangles over filling and tuck under wide ends (the filling will be visible).

Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and heated through. Serve with Ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.

Our Smoked Buffalo Chicken Dip is an amazing appetizer for any get together! Smoked chicken breast gets shredded, seasoned with buffalo sauce, smoked cream cheese, and all the shredded cheese before hitting the smoker again for the final wood-fired flavor blast.
