This recipe for Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip is always the most popular at parties. It’s quick and easy party food that will leave your guests begging for more.
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 Superbowl party. I knew I had to make this myself, so I searched for a good recipe. This one comes from Recipe Zaar. I also completed #87 from my bucket list – dip.

I love this stuff! I have gotten numerous people hooked on it. The recipe I use has you to put it in a crockpot to bake afterwards, which makes it perfect for parties, since it stays warm.
You have me craving this now. You managed to make yours look photogenic too, which is one thing I had yet to figure out how to do since it really isn't "pretty."

My store had a sale on boneless skinless tenders instead of breasts, so I think I will try this as more of a layered dish! Can hardly wait.

Have used this method a couple of times, and it really is fool proof. This is my go to recipe for grilling chicken for one.
