Buffalo Chicken Dip Buffalo Chicken Dip is a fun variation on the American classic, Buffalo Chicken Wings. It is cheesy and delicious and a perfect accompaniment to any ball game watching event. I grew up with a father that watched very little sports, just the occasional golf tournament. I married a man who LOVES sports! In fact our first date was to a football game. Thanks to my husband, we have raised two boys that also LOVE sports! They love their Portland Trailblazers, Seattle Mariners, University of Oregon Ducks and their BYU Cougars. My boys created many memories attending Blazer games together for many years. I am not a sports fan despite my husband’s best efforts although I do agree to attend the occasional sporting event with my husband. I pretty much go for the food, not the sport. When my boys watch a big game together at home I am in charge of the food. Chicken wings are always a favorite and Buffalo Chicken Wings are a pretty traditional ballgame watching food. Today’s recipe is a little twist on those chicken wings, Buffalo Chicken Dip. It has all the same flavors as the chicken wings including a little kick to it. One of the things I love about it is, it’s not as messy to eat as the actual chicken wings! I cut down on the amount of hot sauce as we’re not huge “heat” fans around here but if you like heat, just add more hot sauce. I served it with the Frito Scoop chips. Why is it called Buffalo Chicken? The first Buffalo Chicken Wings were served in 1964 at a small restaurant in Buffalo, New York and they have become an American classic!
