Best Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe Tips
- Start with softened cream cheese to make the process go smoother (literally!) If needed, you can microwave the cream cheese in a small bowl for 15 seconds.
- This makes a big batch, so if you’re having a smaller get-together, you could divide the dip in half and freeze one portion for later.
- Portion it out into several smaller dishes so that guest have their own serving. I love this cute Four Piece Mini Baker Set with Lids my sister gave me for Christmas!
- You can keep this dip warm by placing 2 inches of hot water in the bottom of a slow cooker. Set your bowl of dip into the slow cooker and set it onto the “warm” setting. Keep covered in-between snacking.
