buffalo chicken dip-
Buffalo Chicken Dip is a classic appetizer for parties. It tastes just like buffalo chicken wings but served as a dip. The cheesy and creamy chicken dip can either be baked in the oven or made in a slow cooker.
The classic dip typically includes cream cheese, shredded cheddar, Ranch dressing, cooked chicken, and Franks Hot sauce. I like to add my personal touch with Greek yogurt and bleu cheese (which is the secret ingredient to the most amazing chicken dip). The yogurt adds creaminess to the buffalo dip and the bleu cheese gives it an unexpected kick of flavor!
tips on how to make buffalo chicken dip-
- Be sure your cream cheese is softened and at room temperature so it beats and isn’t lumpy and will melt during the baking.
- Use a block of cheese and grate, the cheese performs better, optional.
