Freezing
While this dip is best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated, you can freeze it if necessary. Transfer the dip to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to one month. Note that the texture may change slightly upon thawing due to the sour cream, so stir well before serving.

FAQs
Can I use another seasoning if I don’t have Makin’ Magic Chicken™ Seasoning?

Is this dip gluten-free?
Yes! The Makin’ Magic Dip Recipe itself is gluten-free, but be sure to pair it with gluten-free chips or veggies if you need to keep the entire snack gluten-free.
Can I make the dip vegan?

How long can I refrigerate the dip before it loses flavor?
The dip is best eaten within three days of preparation. The flavors are freshest and most vibrant during this time, so try to consume it quickly for the best experience.
What’s the best way to mix the dip to prevent lumps?
