The most common reason for your Buffalo chicken dip to be so runny is a result of the cheese being heated too quickly or for too long of a time which causes the liquid to separate.

This is especially true if you're  using cottage cheese but can also occur with other cheeses as well.

Other things that can make your Buffalo chicken dip to be so runny is due to over baking or using low fat dairy products such as low fat cheese, or low fat sour cream which can also lead to runny Buffalo chicken dip.

To make your buffalo chicken dip not runny you should ensure that you have proper drainage of the ingredients and use a full fat cream cheese and ranch dressing.

Also avoid overcooking the buffalo chicken dip and also consider using a stabilizer such as agar-agar or even incorporating a starch based thickener such as cornstarch or flour.

You can also use sour cream to replace cream cheese in Buffalo chicken dip.

Many recipes for Buffalo chicken dip also use sour cream alongside the cream cheese for a tangier texture and flavor but you can use just sour cream in the Buffalo chicken dip and it will still turn out to be very delicious.

The sour cream in Buffalo chicken dip adds a creamy and cooling texture in the buffalo chicken dip and is a common ingredient in the buffalo chicken dip that helps balance out the spiciness of the buffalo chicken dip.

The sour cream in the buffalo chicken dip adds a rich, smooth consistency to the buffalo chicken dip and makes the buffalo chicken dip easier to spread and eat.

The other ingredients in buffalo chicken dip are cream cheese, hot sauce, shredded chicken and often blue cheese and cheddar cheese and sometimes Mozzarella cheese is used.

However you can use any other cheeses you like and if you don't like blue cheese you can use cheddar cheese by itself if you prefer.

Another key ingredient in buffalo chicken dip is ranch dressing if you want to make it a creamy buffalo chicken dip.

If you want to make the real authentic and traditional Buffalo Chicken Dip, you have to make it with blue cheese dressing and not ranch dressing.

Although if you don't like blue cheese dressing you can still use ranch dressing but it won't be the exact same as traditional Buffalo Chicken Dip but will still be delicious.

You can also use blue cheese instead of ranch and 1/3 less fat cream cheese.

Then combine all these ingredients in a crock pot and let it sit on low for 2 hours and then serve with some tortilla chips, celery and or scoops or dip some chicken or other meat in it.

You can use the Buffalo Chicken Dip on anything that you prefer to use it on.

You could also spread the buffalo chicken dip on hamburgers or sandwiches to add flavor.

The best things to eat buffalo chicken dip with are red bell peppers, cucumbers, carrot sticks, celery sticks, crackers and tortilla chips or any other chips including potato chips or bread.

Buffalo chicken dip can become runny also due to using reduced fat cream cheese or using too much ranch dressing or not enough chicken.

You can add some more shredded chicken or more full fat cream cheese or more shredded cheddar cheese to help thicken the runny Buffalo chicken dip.

Overcooking the Buffalo chicken dip or not draining the chicken properly can also cause Buffalo chicken dip to be runny.

If using canned chicken in the Buffalo chicken dip be sure to drain the chicken thoroughly before adding it to the Buffalo chicken dip and use a full fat cream cheese and ranch dressing.

Also if using a slow cooker for the Buffalo chicken dip, avoid leaving your Buffalo chicken dip in the slow cooker for too long as that too can lead to your Buffalo chicken dip turning out runny.
