# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The tang from pickles cuts through rich buffalo sauce in a way that keeps you coming back for just one more bite
  • It takes literally ten minutes to make but tastes like you put in way more effort
02 -
  • If you're making this ahead, don't add the fresh chive garnish until right before serving or they'll get weirdly soggy
  • The dip thickens up in the fridge, so give it a good stir and maybe a tiny splash of pickle juice if it seems too stiff
03 -
  • If you accidentally grab sweet pickles instead of dill, don't panic, it'll still work but add an extra splash of hot sauce
  • The amount of black pepper seems small but it's exactly what this needs to balance the buffalo heat
