As I am writing this, we are 5 days away from the 22/23 Superbowl! Superbowl appetizers are a staple of the NFL championships. They usually consist of bite sized foods that are easy to grab and enjoy while watching the game.
Having some sort of chip and dip staple in your recipe book is a MUST when you need to feed many people at one time. That is why you will love this cheesy buffalo chicken dip recipe. It is so simple that you only need to shop for 7 things. (8 if you count the garlic powder but people usually have that in their pantry so I don’t count that on the shopping list).
A cheesy combo
I have traditionally used mozzarella and cheddar for this dish but I bet it would be delicious with any combo of your favorite cheeses. Feel free to experiment and let me know how it works out!
Most people pair this dish with tortilla chips but you can also set up a tray of your favorite vegetables to go along with the cheesy buffalo chicken dip. Almost anything that is dippable goes great with it… you can even just cut up pieces of bread!
The magic to the sauce
There are so many different types of buffalo sauce out there, I just so happen to use Franks buffalo wing sauce for this recipe because their flavors are always sharp. Use whatever buffalo sauce that you can get you hands on so keep an eye out for the weekly discounts and buy whatever is the best price.
To shred or not to shred
I like to boil my chicken breast and then shred it in the stand mixer with the flat beater attachment. But you can save yourself some time and just buy a whole rotisserie chicken that is already cooked and shred it.
Pro tip for parties
Make a big batch of the cheesy buffalo chicken dip but bake it is a few smaller serving bowls. Spread each bowl throughout the house so people can access it without missing important any part of the game.
