We officially have football season on the brain over here. Yesterday’s healthy-ish Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower Bites were just one way to enjoy that beloved buffalo flavor that tailgate season brings. Today’s Spicy Buffalo Chicken Dip brings the heat again…with a little more guilt (okay, okay it’s probably the most caloric thing ever), but who doesn’t like buffalo chicken dip? Let me rephrase that; there is no one that doesn’t like buffalo chicken dip. No one. It’s a crowd-pleaser through and through, and it’s so easy to make. Win-win, I say.
So you know that saying ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’? Well, I’m a big believer in that, so this is your traditional buffalo chicken dip, with just a little added crunch. You’ll need cream cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce (my favorite is Wing Time Buffalo Wing Sauce), cheese, hot sauce, shredded chicken, celery, diced green onions, and toasted french bread to bring this tailgate dream to life. You can also serve it with celery sticks or crackers…but I think you’ll too find that nothing beats toasted french bread for this thick, ooey-gooey, so good dip that is worth every single calorie. Enjoy! Truly, MKR
P.S. If you’re vegetarian, you can serve the shredded chicken on the side. The dip can definitely live on its own without the chicken. xo
