Hot Cheesy BBQ Ranch Chicken Dip

A crowd-pleasing combination of chicken in a cream cheese, mayonnaise and barbecue sauce base. Seasoned with dry Ranch dressing, a little extra onion and garlic powder, shredded cheese and finished with green onion and crumbled bacon. Perfect for tailgating - yum!

Hot Cheesy BBQ Ranch Chicken Dip


Thank goodness for football foods, because I'm stuck in the middle of the seasonal blues with cooking right now.

It's just still too darned hot and humid for thinking about soups and stews, and the only apple I have on my mind right now comes simply sliced with just a dab of peanut butter!

Oh, don't get me wrong. After a hot summer, we are all very grateful for the "cooler" mid to upper-80s and a slight break in the humidity down here in the coastal Deep South. The weather has really been fabulous - just not at all like Fall. We're sure waiting on that next cold front to maybe bring us some sweater weather because right now, the only cool I'm experiencing, is from my still running full blast, central air conditioner.

So football food it is, and, even though our beloved Saints are having a rough season this year, we're still rooting for them ... and eating our way through our stress on game day with things like this outstanding dip.


You may have seen this appetizer around the internet in some variation, because it seems to be becoming the next hot thing since buffalo chicken or jalapeno popper dip. I want to say that I first saw it at Southern Living, but don't hold me to that because really, it's everywhere now - even Schwan's has a version!

Taking that first peek as inspiration, I turned to my Grilled Cheesy BBQ Chicken recipe and my Buffalo Chicken Dip and ended up with my own version of this hot dip with chicken and barbecue sauce. I made this last weekend and wow, talk about good, and what a great addition to the rest of the tailgate and football party food menu. If you love the Buffalo Chicken Dip, I have a feeling that you'll love this one too, and you can adjust the heat to your own taste by using a good, spicy commercial barbecue sauce. I would suggest doubling it.
Here's how to make it.


If you make this or any of my recipes, I'd love to see your results! Just snap a photo and hashtag it #DeepSouthDish on social media or tag me @deepsouthdish on Instagram!
