Ultimate Buffalo Chicken Nachos are the perfect game day recipe. Every cheesy, crispy, crunchy bite is total perfection. This crowd-pleasing appetizer is ideal for game days or parties.
Buffalo Chicken Nachos…oh how those three words make my foodie heart flutter. I do not know who invented this combination but hats off to them. Seriously, buffalo chicken dip + nachos are two of my favorite foods ever. Jared and I are constantly ordering either the dip, nachos, or wings when we have our date nights so it totally works.
I have never actually enjoyed Buffalo Chicken Nachos at home, but I knew it was something I wanted to whip up after a friend made them for game days. My family loves spice which is kind of neat so snacks that kick things up a notch are well-received.

These Buffalo Chicken Nachos are so cheesy and yummy. I combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, and pepper sauce to make a cream cheese chicken base. Then I carefully tuck some in between each layer of chips to make sure they are all even.Then comes the blue cheese drizzle, the celery pieces, and the shredded cheese.
I use my cast iron pan to get a toasty, evenly baked chip.

Once they come out of the oven they are ready to enjoy!

Chris and I snack on nachos at least once a week. I am totally making these this week when we have them. Yum!
We don’t eat nachos too often but my son loves chips so I will have to make this for him and the great berry mocktail.
This is the perfect combo for a family friendly party! I’m not a big fan of alcohol around the kids, so a delicious plate of nachos with a tasty, family-friendly drink is my kind of atmosphere.
Where did you get such great looking berries this time of year? I love that mocktail and I will keep these nachos in mind for a big game.
