# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The combination of three cheeses creates an incredibly velvety texture that coats every strand of chicken
  • It delivers all the bold buffalo wing flavors you crave without the carb-heavy breading
  • This dip actually improves after sitting in the fridge, making it perfect for meal prep parties
02 -
  • Cold cream cheese creates lumpy dip that never quite smooths out, so plan ahead and set it on the counter at least an hour before cooking
  • The baking time is exactly right for most ovens, but if yours runs hot, check at 15 minutes to prevent the cheese from separating
03 -
  • Line your baking dish with parchment paper for the easiest cleanup imaginable—just lift and toss when the party is over
  • For the ultimate buffalo chicken experience, use a combination of mozzarella and pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar
