You can also freeze this recipe – I would recommend portioning it out into individual serving sizes using a muffin tin, freezing them, and then transferring them into freezer-safe zipper bags.

Since this appetizer has meat in it and also Greek Yogurt, I would not recommend leaving buffalo chicken dip out for longer than 3 hours.
