Buffalo Chicken Dip With Tikka Masala Sauce

This tikka masala buffalo chicken dip is a fusion of zesty buffalo flavors and rich, creamy tikka masala and it's actually incredible. It's so addicting, creamy and perfectly flavorful and spicy that just about anyone will love it. If you don't eat meat you can just make it without shredded chicken and it's just as good.
