Nashville Hot Chicken Dip

Nashville Hot Chicken Dip: Creamy and spicy dip with crispy chicken on top. Move over buffalo chicken dip, this is going to be a new favorite!

Nashville chicken is spicy, sweet, and of course served with pickles. If you like it as a main dish you’re going to devour it as an appetizer!

It starts with a rich cream cheese base that will have you wanting to eat it with a spoon! Then, we top it off with crispy popcorn chicken, more hot sauce, and pickles. The flavor combination is unreal.

It makes a wonderful appetizer for parties, watching sports, and of course the Super Bowl.

Every time, I’ve served it the platter has been clean by the end of the night!

Nashville Hot Chicken Dip Tips

1. Using frozen popcorn chicken makes this dip a breeze to make. However, you could also use homemade popcorn chicken if you’d like.
2. No buttermilk? No problem. Make your own with vinegar or lemon juice.  Use around 2 teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice to make the ¾ cup of buttermilk used in this recipe.
3. Be sure your cream cheese and buttermilk are room temperature to ensure a smooth and creamy dip.
4. Spice lover? Increase the hot sauce, cayenne, and add diced jalapenos for a spicier dip.
5. Serve with a variety of your favorite chips, crackers, and veggies for dipping.
