We’ve combined our favourite chicken wing flavour with bacon and old cheddar cheese to create this unforgettable Buffalo Chicken and Bacon Dip!
Buffalo Chicken and Bacon Dip
The Grey Cup to Canadians is like the Super Bowl to Americans. It’s football and we love our football. Just as we love our Hockey Night in Canada!
Dips are fun and easy to make for any kind of gathering but especially one that involves friends, beer and sports. If you love blue cheese, definitely sprinkle some on top once this dip comes out of the oven, because yum.
A Game Day Favourite
Buffalo hot wings are undeniably our favourite flavour, in fact the hotter the better.
So infusing leftover roast chicken with a buffalo wing sauce, mixing in cream cheese and old cheddar cooked bacon, makes this a dinner for one. Or rather a dip to share…ya that’s it!
Leftover Roast Chicken
I adore a leftover chicken and if you browse through this website you will find several leftover roast chicken or turkey recipes. I like to either roast two chickens at once or buy two roasted chickens allowing for a variety of meals using leftovers.
