My Smoked Buffalo Chicken Dip is one of our favorite game-day treats. This appetizer features cool cream cheese mixed with the best hot sauce. I put my twist on this famous dip by seasoning it with two of my favorite rubs. The end result was a gooey, cheesy treat with my signature BBQ flair.
This game-day goodie is easy to make and requires almost no prep work. I can guarantee you’ve never had a buffalo dip like this before! It’s perfect for last-minute get-togethers.
Some appetizers can be pretty fussy, but this one is straightforward, just the way I like it. This dip has all the best flavors of chicken wings with none of the work. Smoke your chicken ahead of time for easy food prep.
