# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The tang from pickles cuts through rich buffalo sauce in ways regular wings dip never could
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes with zero cooking required
02 -
  • Trying to mix cold cream cheese is an exercise in frustration that I learned the hard way so please just let it sit on the counter first
  • The flavors actually get better after a few hours in the fridge so making this the night before is arguably a genius move
03 -
  • Hand-chopping pickles instead of using relish gives you those satisfying crunch moments that make people's eyes light up
  • Letting it sit for at least 30 minutes before serving lets the garlic powder bloom and the flavors actually get to know each other
