This Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bread will be the highlight at your next tailgate party. A creamy Buffalo Chicken Dip served up neatly in a bread vessel for a show-stopping appetizer everyone will love!
Hey guys, it’s Jackie from TheSeasideBaker.com. Today I’m sharing one of my favorite tailgating recipes, Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bread.
While I am not a huge fan of football, I do look forward to the season every year. After a busy summer of going here and there, I look forward to lazy Sundays at home. When football is in season, the kids and I know that we will be home watching the game with my husband no matter what.
Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bread: A Tailgate Appetizer
I take the opportunity each week to make a fun dish to snack on. Sundays are our cheat days, so we usually have something extra cheesy. This dish is no exception. With three different kinds of cheese – cheddar, mozzarella, and blue cheese – there is no lack of flavor. Combine that with some chicken, buffalo sauce, and some crispy french bread, and you have a winning appetizer!
Since most of football season is really hot here in Southern California, I tend to make this on the grill. No point in warming up the house even more, right? I like to wrap it loosely in foil and place it directly on the hot grill and sit back and relax while it cooks.
I find this Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bread a lot quicker to make when using a rotisserie chicken. I simply microwave it for a minutes, then the meat is really easy to take off of the bones and shred. All in all, this delicious appetizer came together extremely quickly and was loved by everyone!
This tailgate appetizer is a must make for your next football viewing party, and should definitely be saved for the big game! Enjoy, friends!
