Notes

Expert Tips

To make this low-carb buffalo chicken dip recipe super easy for you, you can use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken.
If you only have raw chicken on hand, you can pan-fry 1 lb of boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes on each side before shredding them to use in this recipe.
My favorite hot sauce to use for making my own buffalo sauce is Frank's Red Hot Original. If you use another hot sauce with a different spice level, you may want to adjust the amount in the recipe.
If you aren't paleo or dairy free, you can use shredded cheddar cheese instead of nutritional yeast. You can also add some blue cheese crumbles just before serving the buffalo chicken dip if desired.

Serving Tips

If you are looking for Whole30 and keto game day food, serve this low-carb buffalo chicken dip with your favorite vegetables. My favorites are cucumbers, carrot sticks, celery sticks, and sliced bell peppers.
If you aren't necessarily Whole30 or keto, I love eating this yummy dip with grain-free crackers or tortilla chips!
My husband and I love this paleo buffalo chicken dip even as a meal. It's delicious with a side of rice or cauliflower rice!

Storage Tips

Store leftover buffalo chicken dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days chilled. To reheat the leftovers, you can microwave or heat them again in a 350-degree oven for 10-15 minutes.
