Helpful Tips for Making Buffalo Chicken Dip
This dip is super simple to make with ingredients that are readily available in any local grocery store or market. It's another opportunity to use one of those beloved Costco rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken from another meal.
- For this dip recipe, it's important to use a really good hot sauce for the filling. I often use Frank's but, the market is filled with a wide variety of flavorful options. Rule of thumb, use your favorite brand and you can't go wrong.
- You can fully assemble this dip a day in advance, then chill overnight until baking. If baking in cast iron as I do, place it into an airtight container and spread into the skillet just before baking. It's not advisable to store in cast iron.
- Since this dip includes a good amount of hot sauce for kick, I choose a milder Colby Jack cheese for the filling. You could adapt using your favorite flavor of cheese or, what you have on hand, if needed.
- Serve straight from the oven with a variety of dipping choices. A few options you may consider are celery sticks, fritos, tortilla chips, crackers or toasted garlic bread. Pull apart bread works well too so, checkout my recipe for garlic Parmesan pull apart bread for another option.
