What Makes This Carnivore Buffalo Chicken Dip Different?
Traditional buffalo chicken dip often relies on cream cheese, sour cream, and other dairy products for its creamy texture. This recipe instead utilizes a combination of carefully selected ingredients to achieve a similarly decadent consistency without compromising the carnivore principles. We’re focusing on maximizing the rich, savory flavors of the chicken and buffalo sauce.
Is Buffalo Sauce Carnivore-Friendly?
The key to a truly carnivore-friendly buffalo chicken dip lies in selecting the right buffalo sauce. Many brands contain added sugars or other non-carnivore-friendly ingredients. Therefore, always check the label to ensure the sauce contains only ingredients that fit within your dietary restrictions. Look for sauces with simple ingredients like vinegar, spices, and pure cayenne pepper.
