# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It practically makes itself while you handle everything else on your party list.
  • The buffalo sauce gives just enough kick without scaring off anyone who claims they don't do spicy.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully, and yes, you'll want them for breakfast on toast.
02 -
  • Softening the cream cheese first is the difference between a smooth dip and a lumpy disappointment, so leave it out for 30 minutes or microwave it briefly.
  • Stirring halfway through prevents the cheese from forming a crusty layer on the edges, which sounds appealing until you're scraping it off.
03 -
  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor without any effort on your part.
  • Taste your buffalo sauce before adding it, some brands are much hotter than others, and you can always add more but you can't take it back.
