Buffalo Chicken Dip

This homemade Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe is one of my favorites!

Hot Sauce: I’m not sure if I’m addicted or just impassioned by it but it’s my thing: from Frank’s to Tabasco to Dave’s Insanity Gourmet to New Jersey’s own Harvey’s Revenge. So what goes with hot sauce? In my opinion the answer is simple– ANYTHING!

Today I’m sharing one of my favorite hot sauce incorporated recipes: Buffalo Chicken Dip. This is a real GREAT dip recipe… seriously…especially when it’s piping hot and dripping all over the place. You can never go wrong with hot dip…

This recipe can be modified to your heart’s desire. I used celery and peppers to add some crunch but onions and jalapenos would be good as well. It’s impossible to mess this up and if changing the vegetable addition to one of your choice will make you happy, them I say go ahead!

Also, you can make this ahead of time, store it in the fridge and pop it in the oven right before guests arrive…

Try not to lick the bowl…. Enjoy!

I think it looks yummy even before it’s baked…. and once it’s done…oh ya…..dig in!
