Paleo Buffalo Chicken Dip uses 10 ingredients to make a delicious, easy, fast paleo appetizer

Paleo Buffalo Chicken Dip is the perfect party recipe. You need less than 10 ingredients to make this delicious paleo appetizer.

It’I woke up the morning I created the recipe and said to my husband, “I want to bring paleo buffalo chicken dip to the party.” He was like, “that’s impossible to make.. what would you put it in?” When I listed off the ingredients I thought would create the perfect paleo buffalo chicken dip for the super bowl party we went to, he shook his head and said, “gross? mayo?!”

Well, I went for it. I’m not sure if he thought a better option would be sour cream or .. cream cheese? Whatever. This paleo buffalo chicken dip blew my mind and I ate more of it than I’m comfortable admitting. The recipe is perfect to have out as an appetizer when guests arrive to your party, but if you want to eat all of it yourself I won’t judge you.

Can buffalo chicken dip be made ahead?

Heck yes! Is there anything better than dishes you can make ahead? Nope.

Go through steps 1-4 up to three days in advance, then bake it the day of your party. You may need to extend the baking time a little bit to ensure it’s fully warmed.

How long will it last in the fridge?

I wouldn’t keep it in the fridge for more five days. You can freeze it for up to three months if you need to. Just let the chicken fully thaw in the refrigerator before you pop it in the oven to bake.

What type of mayo should I use?

Thrive Market has two of my favorite mayos

Primal Palette – This is made with avocado oil

Sir Kensington’s – This is made with sunflower oil, all ingredients are paleo except a small amount of sugar (this is the one we typically use in our house because I’m allergic to avocados!).
