Buffalo Chicken Dip Tips
- Raw Chicken. Please feel free to use raw chicken in my Instant Pot version, my recipe uses thawed chicken tenderloins. However, you can use whichever part of the chicken you wish. I have not tried this recipe with frozen chicken yet so please come back for an update on that soon.
- Feel free to store the leftovers! Store in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. Typically we don’t have leftovers but if you do just pop it into the microwave for 1-minute intervals, stirring each time.
- Customize your Cheeses! I always say use what you have on hand or buy the flavors you want to taste. If you don’t have one of the cheeses on hand no worries! Grab any other shredded cheese you have on hand and throw it into the pot. Sometimes the spontaneous cheese choice is what makes the recipe even more unique and tasty.
