Buffalo Chicken Dip
There are many many recipes out there, but this Buffalo Chicken Dip is on Cowboy crack, I promise you. For beginners, the Chicken is marinated in Buffalo hot sauce and studded with Garlic and Jalapeno and char grilled before it gets folded into the other ingredients like cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing, spring onions, jalapeno, buffalo and hot sauce and cheese!
As a centerpiece, I decided to use a small Jalapeno and stick rice grains in it to look like a cactus, it turned out so well I was thrilled.
