You are not going to believe how delicious this dip is nor will you believe how much you can eat!
Transfer any leftover buffalo chicken dip to a container, cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Transfer dip to a microwave safe bowl for reheating when you’re ready for that next snack!
Definitely! Using rotisserie chicken or leftovers from a juicy baked chicken makes putting together this dip a breeze.
You can use canned chicken in this recipe, however you will have a more even consistency in the dip whereas I prefer larger chunks of freshly cooked chicken.
It seems nearly impossible that something so delicious fits with a “diet”, but buffalo chicken dip is quite keto friendly as long as you are intentional about what you eat with this dip. Celery, bell peppers, carrot sticks, ANY keto-friendly veggie, even pork rinds go well with this dip and should keep your carb count in check. You can even just scoop up this cheesy dip with a spoon!
You can adjust the spice level in this dip by adding additional buffalo hot sauce – the more you add, the spicier it will be. You could also add some chopped jalapeno slices to the skillet when you saute the onions and garlic if you really want to add an extra kick!
