• I have avoided making this for years... My husband loves buffalo-anything and I knew this Ultimate Buffalo Chicken Dip would become his new favourite dip and I'd be making it on rotate. Rotisserie chicken, ultimate buffalo sauce, cream cheese, cheddar make this appetizer irresistibly addictive. Perfect for Sunday's big game.

    Ultimate Buffalo Chicken Dip

    I have been avoiding making this dip for years! I knew the minute I served this, my husband was going to ask for it again the following weekend and the one after that and so on and so forth. It’s going to be a never-ending Ultimate Buffalo Chicken Dip cycle, and I'll never get off that hamster wheel. But, I can't keep this addictive dip from my husband any longer.

They disappear like hotcakes. It's a must! I decided with the world shut down and our family cooped up in our cozy home, it was time to recreate these biscuits.
