Tips & Variations

For a milder sauce, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper and hot sauce.
Substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream for a richer dip.
Use wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning if grilling the chicken.
Add fresh chopped chives or green onions to the dipping sauce for extra flavor.

Storage

Store leftover skewers and dipping sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat chicken bites in the oven or microwave before assembling skewers again. The dipping sauce is best served chilled and should be stirred before serving if stored.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make the dipping sauce ahead of time?

Yes, the avocado ranch dipping sauce can be prepared a few hours in advance and kept refrigerated to allow the flavors to meld.

Instructions

Cook Chicken Bites: Cook the Farm Rich Buffalo Chicken Bites according to the package directions, usually by baking or air frying until crispy and heated through.
Prepare Dipping Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, combine avocado, Greek yogurt, buttermilk, chopped fresh dill, chopped parsley, onion powder, kosher salt, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper in a blender. Puree until smooth and creamy. Pour the sauce into a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Serve: Arrange the assembled skewers on a serving platter and serve immediately with the chilled spicy avocado ranch dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

For extra crispiness, cook the chicken bites in an air fryer if available.
Adjust cayenne and hot sauce in the dipping sauce to your preferred spice level.
These skewers can be prepped ahead by assembling and refrigerating before serving; add blue cheese last to maintain texture.
Use wooden skewers soaked in water beforehand to prevent burning if cooking skewers directly on heat.
Blue cheese can be substituted with feta or cheddar for a milder taste.
