Buffalo chicken spinach dip combines the hot and spicy kick of buffalo chicken with the smooth, creamy goodness of spinach dip to create the ultimate party dip. It's perfectly balanced, full of flavor, and ready in minutes.

Party food is the best food, and two of my great party food loves are Buffalo chicken dip and spinach dip. Both of them really hit the spot with some chips, crackers, or veggies. So I decided to put them together. The result is this hot and spicy, chicken-filled take on spinach dip that you're going to love.
