Description

Creamy Buffalo Chicken Dip is a savory, spicy, and creamy appetizer that’s packed with shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, cheese, and a rich dressing. The dip is baked until it’s bubbly and golden on top, creating the perfect texture for dipping. Typically served with tortilla chips, celery, or carrot sticks, this dip has become a go-to choice for parties, especially for game days. Its creamy texture paired with the heat from buffalo sauce makes it a comforting, flavorful treat.
