Introduction

This 5-Ingredient Buffalo Chicken Baked Hummus Dip is a deliciously spicy and creamy appetizer that’s perfect for game day or casual gatherings. Combining shredded rotisserie chicken, fiery hot sauce, and smooth hummus, it’s easy to prepare and sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

A clear glass square dish holds a layered baked casserole with a top layer of melted golden-yellow cheese mixed with white cheese. On the cheese surface, there are small pieces of bright red cherry tomato halves and chopped green onion slices scattered evenly. In the top right corner of the dish, there are thin slices of bright green avocado arranged neatly in a small fan shape. Around the dish, on a white marbled texture, there are thin cucumber slices on the top left and bottom right, and whole bright orange carrots on the top right and bottom left. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s)

1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 (8 ounce) tubs garlic hummus or spicy hummus

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

For garnishes:

1 tomato, diced
1 avocado, sliced

Carrot spears

Tortilla chips
Plantain chips

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC).

Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, hot sauce, and cracked black pepper until well mixed. Add the hummus and stir until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Transfer the mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown on top.

Step 5: Remove from oven and garnish with chopped scallions, diced tomato, and sliced avocado. Serve warm alongside cucumber slices, carrot spears, tortilla chips, or plantain chips.

Tips & Variations

For extra heat, use a spicy hummus or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
Swap shredded cheddar for mozzarella or pepper jack for a different cheese flavor.

Use fresh cooked chicken if rotisserie isn’t available.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a bright herbal note.

Storage

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in the oven at 350ºF for 10-15 minutes until heated through, or microwave in short intervals, stirring halfway to ensure even heating.
