Hey all! Sam back from The Culinary Compass to bring you these awesome Buffalo Chicken Nachos! I’m always a fan when football season comes around because I love to make fun appetizers for game day. This just combines two of my favorite appetizers into probably one of my new favorites!

Buffalo chicken dip is my all-time favorite for game day. In college, my friends and I would love to make big batches of it when we were studying. If we had thought to put it on nachos, it probably would’ve been made at least once a week. The melty cheese on top and the addictive heat from the buffalo sauce just make you want to eat it again and again!
