Frank’s Buffalo Sauce

Using fresh, premium cuts of chicken for your dip will give it a delicious touch but you can’t have a buffalo dip without the buffalo sauce!

While there are tons of buffalo sauces on the market, none of them beat Frank’s.

Of course, if you have another favorite, you can skip the buffalo wing sauce from Franks and use your sauce of choice!

Layer 1: Cheesy Bottom Layer

Start by mixing your cheeses together. The cream cheese, sour cream, and pepper jack should be mixed together thoroughly before you add the veggie shake or the ranch seasoning packet.

Layer 2: Buffalo Chicken

Next comes the ingredients the recipe is named after. Mix your shredded chicken together with your buffalo sauce of choice so it is evenly coated.
