What Do I Serve with this Dip?

You can serve this yummy dip with corn chips, tortilla chips or any of your favorite crackers. For a low carb, healthier option, serve it with fresh veggies like celery sticks, bell peppers slices and carrot sticks.

Can I Serve This Dip Hot?

You sure can. All you have to do is transfer it to a baking dish and cook at 375 degrees until it’s warm and gooey. You can also cook it in a small slow cooker on the low or warm setting for a couple of hours.

Cold Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe Variations?

Chicken: You can bake, poach or roast your own chicken, allow it to cool and shred it. Or for a short cut, you can use leftover rotisserie chicken or even canned chicken.

Consistency: This is a thick and hearty dip. If you want to loosen it up a bit, you can drizzle in a little blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing. You’ll add just enough to make it the spreadable consistency you’re looking for.

Spice level: If you like extra heat, you can add a little bit of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the sauce. If you want it to be a little less spicy, you can mix in some sour cream and use a bit less buffalo sauce.

Garnishes: If you’re not a fan of blue cheese, you can top this delicious dip with feta crumbles instead. I also like to add a little bit of chopped celery with the green onions as a garnish.
