Substitutions For Buffalo Chicken Dip
Now, what to do it you dont have everything on hand? First, use finely chopped onions instead of scallions, no problem. Skip the sour cream if its not around the dip will just be a little bit thicker. The blue cheese is optional, first because you might not have it, second because you might not like it.
Dont have sharp white cheddar? Thats a-ok, use whatever cheddar you have. Use Havarti or Montery Jack or maybe even Gouda. Use a cheese that gets nice and melty.
Dont have Franks Red Hot Sauce? While that is the classic hot sauce that puts the buffalo in buffalo, you can still get to a nicely spicy and satisfying dip with a different type of hot sauce. But start with significantly less, maybe even two tablespoons if the sauce is very hot. Franks is not so spicy, which is why so much of it is called for. Start with less if you are subbing in something else, and you can always stir in more at the end.
Some shredded chicken, a couple of cheeses, a generous glug of Red Hot Sauce, and you have yourself a crowd-pleaser, an eye-rollingly good hot dip.

What To Do If You Get The Burn Notice
The dreaded burn notice is everyones least favorite part of cooking with the Instant Pot. If you put your liquid in first, this shouldnt be a problem, but nothing is perfect and from time to time I get the burn notice when cooking.
Luckily, this recipe doesnt take long to heat up and melt the cheese, so if you get the burn notice go ahead and release the pressure and open the lid. Then stir everything around to distribute the heat. Most likely, it will be fully cooked and ready to go. If it still needs a little time, you can set it to saute and let it finish heat up that way.
If you love cooking with your Instant Pot as much as we do, we highly recommend getting a ceramic inner pot for your Instant Pot. It virtually eliminates the burn notice, which is a great perk and makes it worth every penny!
Stir In Buffalo Sauce Chicken Broth And Ranch Seasoning Before Adding 1 Pound Of Chicken Breast
From my buffalo chicken mac and cheese to buffalo air fryer tuna cakes, I use Franks RedHot buffalo sauce. If you dont have any ranch seasoning on hand, you could add some extra garlic and onion powder, dill weed, and parsley. And if you happened to have buttermilk powder for some reason, youll pretty much have ranch seasoning.

Game Day is covered!
Buffalo Chicken Dip Instant Pot
- 1 lb chicken breast, uncooked
- 1/2 12 ounce bottle Franks RedHot Buffalo Sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 Ranch Dressing Mix packet
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- Additional 1/4-1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- Sliced Green onions
Add hot sauce, water and ranch dressing packet to the Instant Pot and mix.
Add chicken and cover with the sauce.
Put lid on, set to sealing and cook on manual high pressure for 12 minutes. If you are using frozen chicken, set it for 20-25 minutes .
Once timer goes off, let it naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes and then quick pressure release the rest.
Shred chicken. I did it directly in the pot, but you could remove it to shred.
Once chicken is shredded, stir around to make sure its covered.
Add cream cheese and shredded cheese mixture and mix until everything is combined and creamy.
Change the Instant Pot to sauté and stir until desired consistency.
At this point, you could either:
- Serve it as is
- Place in an oven-safe dish
- Or use an Air Fryer lid.
If you want to use an Air Fryer lid, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and cook at 400 for about five minutes.
If you want to put it in the oven, heat your oven to 350 degrees, pour the dip into an oven-safe dish, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and bake for ten minutes. Broil for one.
Top with sliced green onions and serve with your choice of dippers.

Franks Buffalo Chicken Dip
The only hot sauce I use and recommend is Franks Hot Sauce. You can purchase this sauce in a variety of spice levels, but I always opt for the original, hot buffalo flavor.
They do sell a Buffalo Wing sauce that usually has a yellow or light orange label and the sauce is more orange than red. This is because its already been diluted with something to make it less spicy .
You can use whatever hot wing sauce you like, and maybe even experiment with other sauce flavors that pair well with cream cheese and chicken!
The more sauce you use, the spicier the dip will be.
