Ingredients You’ll Need

All the magic here starts with simple, well-balanced ingredients that make this dish shine. Each component contributes a crucial element — from the fiery buffalo chicken bites that pack the punch, to the fresh herbs in the ranch sauce that bring a vibrant brightness. Here’s what you’ll gather before the fun begins:

Farm Rich Buffalo Chicken Bites: These pre-cooked bites save time while delivering that perfect spicy buffalo flavor.

Blue Cheese (8 ounces, cubed): Adds a creamy, tangy counterpoint that balances the heat beautifully.
Celery (3 stalks, cut into 1-inch pieces): Provides a crisp, refreshing crunch and classic buffalo wing pairing.

Wooden Skewers (12): Essential for assembling the bites into fun, easy-to-eat appetizers.
Avocado (1 ripe): Creates a luscious, creamy base for the ranch dipping sauce with healthy fats.

Greek Yogurt (1 cup): Adds tanginess and thick, creamy texture to the sauce without heaviness.
Buttermilk (1/4 cup): Gives the avocado ranch dipping sauce a smooth, pourable consistency and subtle tang.
Fresh Dill (1 tablespoon, chopped): Infuses a bright herbal note that’s refreshing and aromatic.

Chopped Parsley (1/4 cup lightly packed): Adds a fresh, vibrant color and flavor boost.
Onion Powder (1/2 teaspoon): Brings a gentle depth of flavor to the dipping sauce.
Kosher Salt (1/2 teaspoon): Enhances every flavor and balances the dip perfectly.

Worcestershire Sauce (1/8 teaspoon): Adds subtle umami complexity.
Hot Sauce (1/8 teaspoon): Kicks the avocado ranch sauce up a notch to complement the buffalo spice.
Cayenne Pepper (1/8 teaspoon): Gives a gentle heat that melds beautifully with the other flavors in the dip.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Skewers with Spicy Avocado Ranch Dip

Step 1: Cook the Buffalo Chicken Bites

Start by heating your Farm Rich Buffalo Chicken Bites following the package directions. These bites are perfectly seasoned and crispy right out of the oven (or air fryer), making them the star of the skewers without any extra fuss.

Step 2: Whip Up the Spicy Avocado Ranch Dipping Sauce

While the chicken bites are cooking, let’s blend together the dip! Combine the ripe avocado, creamy Greek yogurt, and smooth buttermilk with fresh dill and parsley, then season it with onion powder, kosher salt, a splash of Worcestershire sauce, plus hot sauce and cayenne for that subtle heat that sings alongside the buffalo flavor. Blend until silky smooth and refrigerate it until you’re ready to serve. This sauce is where the magic happens and transforms the dish into something unforgettable.

Step 3: Assemble the Skewers

Once your buffalo bites are ready, it’s time to make the skewers! Thread one piece of celery to add crunch, then a cube of blue cheese for that unmistakable tang, and finally a buffalo chicken bite. Repeat this pattern onto each skewer until all ingredients are beautifully combined. These bites look as delicious as they taste and make picking up finger food a breeze.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Lay the skewers out on a serving platter and bring out your chilled spicy avocado ranch dipping sauce. Whether you’re dipping or drizzling, this combo of spicy, creamy, and crunchy flavors will have everyone coming back for more. The balance of heat and creaminess is so satisfying you’ll want to make these all year round.

How to Serve Buffalo Chicken Skewers with Spicy Avocado Ranch Dip

Garnishes

Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or dill over the skewers right before serving for a pop of color and an extra herbal aroma. A few celery leaves or a dusting of smoked paprika on the sauce adds that final gourmet touch that makes your presentation irresistibly elegant.

Side Dishes

Pairing these skewers with light, crunchy sides like a simple green salad, some roasted sweet potato wedges, or even crispy baked fries complements the richness without overwhelming the palate. A chilled vegetable platter with cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and bell peppers also complements this dish beautifully.

Creative Ways to Present

For a fun twist, serve the skewers standing upright in a jar or mason glass filled with extra celery sticks or fresh herbs. Passing around a communal dip station with bowls of the spicy avocado ranch sauce alongside the skewers invites everyone to personalize their bites exactly how they like.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftovers (though that’s unlikely!), store the skewers and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The sauce will keep for up to 3 days, but the skewers are best eaten within 24 hours to maintain the crunch of the celery.

Freezing

Because of the fresh avocado and dairy in the sauce, freezing isn’t ideal as it can change texture and flavor. If needed, you can freeze the cooked buffalo chicken bites on the skewers, but skip the celery and cheese until serving for the best experience.

Reheating

To reheat the skewers, warm the buffalo chicken bites in the oven or air fryer until hot but do this gently to preserve the celery’s crunch. Avoid microwaving as it tends to make celery soggy. Serve with fresh sauce straight from the fridge.

FAQs

Can I make the spicy avocado ranch dipping sauce ahead of time?

Absolutely! The sauce actually benefits from some resting time in the fridge, allowing the flavors to meld together. Just be sure to give it a good stir before serving.

What can I substitute if I don’t have blue cheese?

If blue cheese isn’t your thing, try swapping it out for crumbled feta or a sharp cheddar for a milder, yet still flavorful, cheese that pairs well with buffalo flavors.

Are Farm Rich Buffalo Chicken Bites gluten-free?

Farm Rich offers a range of products, but it’s best to check the package or brand website for current gluten-free labeling if you have dietary restrictions or allergies.

Can I use fresh buffalo chicken instead of the pre-cooked bites?

Definitely! Cooking fresh chicken chunks tossed in buffalo sauce works great—just cook them thoroughly before assembling the skewers for safe and delicious results.

How spicy is the spicy avocado ranch dipping sauce?

The sauce has a gentle to moderate heat that complements but doesn’t overpower the buffalo chicken. You can always adjust the hot sauce and cayenne pepper amounts up or down depending on your heat preference.
