How do you keep Buffalo chicken dip from getting greasy? ›

Why Does Some Chicken Dip Get Greasy? Overcooking the dip or having the temperature up too high will result in an oily looking dip. This will not affect the flavor, but doesn't look as appealing. The secret is to cook the buffalo chicken dip on low for 3 to 4 hours.

This Buffalo Chicken Dip recipe is an easy classic that features three different layers of flavors including chicken (use canned or rotisserie!) mixed with your favorite buffalo sauce (I always go for Frank's RedHot!), cream cheese, ranch dressing and, of course, lots of cheese!

If your dip is runny, it usually indicates you didn't use enough chicken or added too much buffalo sauce or ranch. Using low-fat cream cheese will also give you runny results which is why the full-fat type is best.

All you really need are two things: ice and a ladle. According to Babs, start by filling your ladle with a good amount of ice. Make sure the ladle gets nice and cold. Then simply dip the bottom of your ladle into the surface of your sauce and let the grease gather underneath.

How do you thicken buffalo chicken dip? The short and happy answer: cheese! And this cheese dip calls for three varieties: cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and blue cheese. Cream cheese is the hero that thickens this dip and gives it texture.

Crack dip is a creamy, cheesy dip made with full-fat cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, bacon, ranch dressing, and seasonings. Can crack dip be made ahead of time? Yes, it can. It's an excellent make-ahead appetizer.

Combine hot sauce, butter, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, garlic powder, and salt in a pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer while stirring with a whisk.

Buffalo chicken dip lasts for up to four days—if you're lucky enough to end up with leftovers, that is! Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Warm leftover dip in the microwave or oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°.

Sweet Defeats Heat

Adding something sweet to a too-spicy dish is another great way to reduce spiciness. A sprinkle of sugar or honey should do the trick. Or add a touch of sweet ketchup. If it's a tomato-based sauce, stir in a little more tomato sauce and maybe a touch of sugar.

As we said above, monitoring the oil temperature is a critical step that cannot be ignored. If your oil temp is too high, your fried chicken will be scorched on the outside with meat that is undercooked. If the oil is too cool, your chicken will be greasy and will lack the golden-brown crispy exterior you want.

If you soak the chicken in an ice water bath prior to the dredging and breading process, the cold liquid will firm the meat and keep it moist — it's basically like brining the chicken first. The ice-cold skin will also make sure your breading of choice will stay on the poultry during the frying process.

Transfer the cooled Buffalo chicken dip to a shallow airtight container and store in the fridge for up to one week. Reheat it slowly on the stove or in the microwave in short intervals.
