What is it about buffalo chicken dip that is so addicting?

It is an absolute necessity at every tailgate and football party. It doesn’t matter if you’re a gourmet chef and the biggest food snob; I guarantee you will be drawn in by the buffalo chicken dip’s gravitational pull.

It’s spicy, it’s creamy, it’s cheesy – what’s not to love?

Let’s be honest – if there isn’t buffalo chicken dip, what’s the point of even having a party.

So what could possibly make this party staple even better?

Bread. That’s right. You heard me. Bread! The answer to everything is more carbs!

For this buffalo chicken dip recipe, I made a very easy bowl out of French bread. I suggest using a crusty French bread so it’s sturdy enough to hold the dip. But don’t go for one of those skinny baguettes! It will be too tough to pull apart and there’s not enough room to hold the dip.

Then you just slice a layer off the top, scoop out the insides, and viola! A bread bowl!

I suggest keeping the extra bread you scooped out and toasting it for a few minutes, and you can use it to dip!
