I ensure you that any party is not complete without some Buffalo Chicken Dip. If you love hot sauce, you will love this dip.

I first heard of this dip when my roommate’s mom made it for her. Then at one of my meetings at school, the guy in charge brought leftover dip from his Super Bowl party.

I knew I had to make this myself.
