Chef's notes
Recipe updated in January 2019, inspired by Frank’s Buffalo Chicken Dip.
Feel free to serve it with tortilla chips or crackers, veggie sticks (celery and carrot sticks are often traditional here), any kind of bread, or whatever other dippers sound delicious.
Possible Variations
Make it vegetarian:
I have a terrific recipe for Buffalo Cauliflower Dip here on the blog if you would like a meatless version! Or, you’re welcome to use chickpeas, crispy tofu, or other veggies in place of the chicken.
Make it spicier:
Feel free to add in extra hot sauce and/or a few pinches of crushed red chili flakes if you would really like to set this dip on fire.
Make it milder:
Use half of the recommended amount of buffalo sauce.
Use a different cheese:
As mentioned above, if you’re not into blue cheese, feel free to substitute feta (or a bit more mozzarella).
