Buffalo Ranch Chicken Dip Ring

Store bought crescent rolls are perfectly flaky and delish in this recipe, plus incredibly easy to use! Just open the can, separate the individual servings, and prepare for the filling.
The filling combines the smooth, sweet, and tarty taste of cream cheese with chicken along with hot and spicy buffalo sauce. It’s a winning combination!
Serve Buffalo Chicken Ring as a hearty holiday appetizer before the main event, or bring to a potluck, party, or shared family meal.

Easy Ingredient List!

THE FILLING: This recipe calls for cooked shredded chicken, which can be made in the oven or using a crockpot. Or simply purchase a rotisserie chicken and pick the meat from the carcass. Leftovers from a roast chicken or this Melt in Your Mouth Chicken recipe would also work well. Be sure to soften the cream cheese before adding the other ingredients so that everything mixes well.

DOUGH: Simply purchase Pillsbury crescent dough to use in this recipe. Just open the can, separate the individual triangles, and lay them down in a circle. It’s super easy to use and the result is a perfectly light and fluffy crust that is delish!

Recipe Variations

Buffalo sauce can be easily substituted with any kind of hot sauce of choice.

Everyone loves to dip! So serve this Buffalo Chicken Ring with an onion, ranch or blue cheese dip and place it the center of the ring for spectacular presentation!

While cheddar is the recommended cheese for this recipe, using marble, mozzarella or Monteray Jack will work equally as well.

Let’s Make It!

Mix cheese and seasoning.
In another bowl combine the sauce and chicken.
Unroll the dough and spread the mixtures over top.
Fold over and then bake (as per the recipe below).

Tips And Time Savers!

This is best served warm, however, it is easier to cut when it is a little cool.

To save time, make the whole ring ahead of time, wrap it in aluminum foil, and keep it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. When the guests arrive simply bake and serve!

Leftovers will keep covered in the refrigerator for about 5 days.
