A quick and easy crispy air fryer chicken wing dip that combines the crunch of fried wings with creamy, spicy wing dip flavors. Perfect for parties, game nights, or casual snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (about 300g)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (225g)
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce (120ml)
  • ½ cup ranch dressing (120ml)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 100g)
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (50g)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (about 100g)
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for air fryer crisping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: If using raw chicken breasts, poach in simmering water for about 15 minutes until cooked through, then shred. If using cooked chicken, shred about 2 cups (300g).
  2. Mix the base: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  3. Add cheeses and seasoning: Stir in shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Fold in shredded chicken gently to coat evenly without overmixing.
  5. Transfer mixture to an oven-safe baking dish or ramekins that fit in your air fryer basket. Level the top.
  6. Spread panko breadcrumbs evenly over the surface and lightly spray or drizzle with olive oil or cooking spray.
  7. Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish inside and cook for 12-15 minutes until the top is golden brown, crispy, and the dip is bubbling around the edges.
  8. Carefully remove from air fryer and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Lightly spray panko with oil before air frying for a perfect crispy topping. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed. Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. If baking in an oven, cook at 350°F for about 20 minutes. For gluten-free, use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs. Reheat in air fryer or oven to restore crispiness; avoid microwave reheating to prevent soggy topping.
