Sriracha Buffalo Chicken Dip

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Christmas!

After hosting a big ‘n boisterous shindig at our home (aka a full house of families with kids – mostly boys) on Christmas Eve, we mellowed out with just our family on Christmas Day.

We sang, read, documented the ripping of wrapping paper, downed a late brunch, played games, and went sledding.  I ate it several times, but it was so so worth it.  My boys will remember their mama roaring down the hills with them.  And screaming. 🙂

At our house, the ornament-encased tree and decorations stay up past New Year’s – partly because we love letting it all linger just a little bit longer, and partly because we need time to recoup before tackling the tear-down.

At least for the next several days, it’s still officially holiday season.  The transition from Christmas to New Year’s is happening at full throttle.

New Year’s celebrations must include fabulous finger food.  Hello, Sriracha Buffalo Chicken Dip – Oh, YUM…

Sriracha Buffalo Chicken Dip

When Hubby related the alarming news of an imminent Sriracha shortage, I hoarded.  Just a little bit.  Now I’ve got beautiful red bottles of Sriracha that must be used up…and use them up I shall.

This Sriracha Buffalo Chicken Dip is an awesome appetizer/finger food for New Year’s parties or upcoming Game Day gatherings.  This dip is creamy, cheesy, and has the perfect little kick to it.  It’s a match made for thick corn chips or veggie sticks.

Of course, my favorite part of this dip is that it’s crazy-easy, and make-ahead friendly.  Just reheat and stir before serving.  Enjoy!
