Buffalo chicken dip is a tailgating icon. It’s the perfect combination of a spicy, meaty Buffalo wings and creamy, cheesy party dip, making it the most crowd-pleasing appetizer you can serve…until the invention of Buffalo Blitz Bites. Classic Buffalo chicken dip mix—chopped chicken, cream cheese, cheddar, blue cheese, hot sauce, and chives—is baked into a crisp puff pastry shell until bubbling and golden. Instead of eating the celery and carrots on the side, I tossed them in some apple cider vinegar and added them on top, making this a one-stop shop for all your favorite game-day flavors.
