Superbowl Favorites: Slow'N'Low Buffalo Chicken Dip

Buffalo chicken dip may be the pinnacle of Super Bowl foods-- and we've raised the bar this year by infusing it with cannabis. With a dish like this you can REALLY kick back and enjoy the game. We've made this recipe low-dose so canna-sseuers and canna-curious can all enjoy without over-dosing. 

We've chosen to make this dip in a slow-cooker for a few IMPORTANT reasons. The slow-cooker will ensure a nice melt of the cheese, and it will allow you to keep the dip warmed while you enjoy it throughout the game. Most importantly though, the low temperature will preserve the cannabis so that you have consistent dosing and get the desired effect. You may have heard before that exposure to high heat (in cooking) can cause cannabinoids to break down or change so that they make you drowsy. Adding the olive oil at the end of the recipe and keeping the dip on a low-heat setting will ensure that this does not occur for your dip.

Pantry has two olive oils that you can choose from for this recipe-- a THC-infused olive oil and a 1:1 olive oil with THC and CBD. We've added a low dose to this recipe, but feel free to add more if you have a higher tolerance!

2. Combine your sour cream, cheeses and hot sauce with the chicken in the slow cooker/baking tray  and lightly mix together to distribute ingredients somewhat evenly in the tray. Cook on high for 20 minutes.
