A perfect Vegan Buffalo “Chicken” Dip in time for the Super Bowl. This dip is great for commercial and half-time snacking. Get the recipe here!
Who’s excited for the Super Bowl?! To be honest, I don’t really care for football but I always enjoyed the social aspect of this event, the commercials, the half-time show, and of course the food. In my experience, I’ve noticed that anything with buffalo sauce and chicken is pretty much a staple item to have on Super Bowl Sunday. Buffalo chicken wings, buffalo chicken wraps, buffalo chicken hoagies, buffalo chicken dip, etc. Some ooey, gooey buffalo chicken dip sounded amazing so I decided to create my own vegan version to satisfy my craving.

For this recipe, I used Tofurkey’s Slow Roasted Chick’n in the Sesame Garlic flavor. My original intent was to use the Lightly Seasoned version but I could not find it anywhere! I looked for it at two different Wholefoods, Trader Joe’s, Aldi, Walmart (…I was desperate), and Publix (Florida grocery store). Finally, at the third Publix I visited, I found this damn slow roasted chick’n…but only the Sesame Garlic one. I decided to just purchase the last two boxes remaining and figure out how to make it work for this buffalo chick’n dip.

Celery sticks and chips are my favorite dipping instruments for this recipe! The celery helps refresh your palette after the initial delicious burn from the buffalo sauce. Tortilla chips are just my crunchy addiction and add some neutral flavor to the spice. Either way, you can’t go wrong!
