If you’re tailgating or just enjoying a game day at home, nothing screams “day off” like this spicy chicken dip recipe as a sauce for nearly any snack. Soft pretzels? You bet! Tortilla chips, celery, and carrots? Yum! In this case, we’ll look to premade breadsticks you can make and serve with the dip.
You can use flavored cream cheese for this recipe (like chive or garlic). Also, change things up by using chunk tuna instead of the chicken, and flavored breadsticks instead of plain.
When making larger pieces of chicken on the grill, use a pastry brush and try this as a finishing sauce.
