Yummy Low FODMAP Buffalo Dip
Yummy Low FODMAP Buffalo Dip
Take your entertaining to the next level with this incredible low FODMAP buffalo dip! This bubbling hot dip is creamy, and cheesy, and hearty and ridiculously moreish all at once. It’s so good your guests will be fighting over it!
Now, we did have to work some magic here to make this dip low FODMAP. Here’s what we changed. We made our own ranch dressing that contains a low FODMAP amount of sour cream and doesn’t have any onion. We also swapped Franks Red Sauce, which hasn’t been tested for FODMAPs, for sriracha sauce and used a smaller amount to create a very mild level of heat (I don’t like spicy food but loved this dip) - if you can tolerate more heat, then you can add more sriracha. We also added a bit more depth to the dish by air-frying some chicken in spices before shredding it. These tweaks created a magical dip that’s FODMAP friendly.
Just be mindful that this recipe is high in fat. If your gut symptoms are triggered by high fat meals, then you might want to skip this recipe even though it's low FODMAP.
Serving suggestion: We love serving buffalo dip with plain or lightly salted corn chips or gluten free crackers.
Ingredients
Make gluten freeSEASONED CHICKEN
garlic infused oil
FODMAP
Garlic infused oil is normally found in the oil section of your local supermarket or you can buy it online. It should be clear with no floating bits of garlic.
You can also make garlic infused oil at home by frying garlic cloves in cooking oil until they are golden and fragrant, then remove and discard the garlic before you continue cooking your meal. This is a low FODMAP way to capture the garlic flavour as the fructans can't leach into the oil.

- Preheat the oven to 180ºC / 355ºF fan force function.
- Cut the chicken into small tenders. Place in a bowl. Drizzle with garlic infused oil and sprinkle with the smoked paprika, cumin and a few grinds of salt and pepper. Using tongs, toss well to combine. Place in the air fryer and cook at 190ºC (375ºF) air fryer mode for 18 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through OR pan fry for 3-4 minutes per side over medium heat until golden and cooked through.
- While the chicken cooks, make the ranch dressing. In a large bowl mix the ranch dressing ingredients until smooth.
- Chop the cream cheese into cubes.
- Add the ranch dressing and cream cheese to a saucepan and place over medium-low heat. Stir until the cream cheese melts and the mixture becomes smooth. Remove from the heat.
- Transfer the ranch/cream cheese mixture back into the large bowl.
- Slice the cooked chicken and then finely dice into little pieces (you want really small scoop-able pieces). Finely slice the green leaves of the green onion/spring onion.
- Add the diced chicken, green onion/spring onion, black pepper, sriracha, tomato sauce/ketchup, grated colby and cheddar cheese (the amount for the buffalo dip) into the bowl with the ranch/cream cheese mixture. Stir until well combined. Taste - if you want more heat then add more sriracha now.
- Transfer the mixture into a 1.5 litre / 6 cup capacity casserole dish and top with the remaining cheese. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the dip is bubbly and the cheese is golden. At the end of cooking, you can grill/broil the top of the dish in the oven for 1-2 minutes to create a more golden/brown top.
- Serve with a sprinkle of extra green onion/spring onion leaves and enjoy! We love serving with plain or lightly salted corn chips or plain gluten free crackers.
- Storage: This low FODMAP buffalo dip can be kept for 3 days in the fridge. Reheat until hot before serving either in the microwave or oven.
