Buffalo Chicken Sliders with Blue Cheese Dip

It’s summer and usually for most people that means attending bbqs, pot lucks, parties, and other get togethers. The weather is great and people enjoy being out and about. And usually that means food, fellowship, and a few tried and true recipes…  Add some excitement to your party by reinventing some tried and true favorites and of course adding a little homemade element. 

My husband and I, mostly my husband, LOVES buffalo chicken wings. I enjoy the flavor, but I don’t enjoy getting my hands and my face all sticky and dirty. This recipe puts a spin on your classic Buffalo Chicken by putting them in the form of a slider!

They’ve still got that favorite buffalo kick, without the mess! And who can go wrong with some homemade blue cheese dip? There is nothing better than a good dip with some hearty chunks of blue cheese in it. You could even lighten the dip up by subbing some greek yogurt for the sour cream! The dip not only makes great spread for the sliders, but also is great to dip veggies such as carrots and celery into as well.
