This Vegan Buffalo Chicken Dip is creamy, cheesy, and packed with all the classic buffalo wing flavors people love, but made completely dairy-free. It bakes up warm and bubbly and is perfect for game day, parties, or anytime you need an easy crowd-pleasing appetizer.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Meanwhile, shred the vegan chicken with your hands (or chop it into small pieces), then cook it in a skillet with a little oil according to the package instructions.
Stir the vegan cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth.
Add the buffalo sauce (or hot sauce), vegan ranch dressing, garlic powder, and paprika and mix until well combined.
Stir in the cooked vegan chicken and ⅔ cup (65 g) shredded vegan cheese.
Transfer the mixture to an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining ⅓ cup (35 g) shredded vegan cheese on top.
Bake for 20–30 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
Let it cool for about 5–10 minutes, then serve warm with tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, and/or sliced green onions.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 10–15 minutes, or until warm.
You can also reheat it in the microwave in short intervals, stirring in between.
Freezing is not recommended, as the texture may change once thawed.
Let the dip cool slightly before storing to prevent excess moisture in the container.
