# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The pickle juice cuts through all that rich creaminess in the most brilliant way, making each bite impossibly addictive
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes flat but tastes like something much more complicated
  • You can make it ahead and keep it in the fridge for days, which I've done more times than I care to admit
02 -
  • Cold cream cheese will give you tiny lumps no matter how long you beat it, so just set it out thirty minutes before you start
  • The flavors actually get better after sitting for a few hours, so don't be afraid to make this the night before
  • If you're serving this to buffalo wing purists, they might be skeptical at first, but they'll come around
03 -
  • Use a hand mixer on low speed to avoid splattering yourself with buffalo sauce, learned that one the messy way
  • Drain your chopped pickles on paper towels for a few minutes if they seem really juicy, which keeps the dip from getting watery
