For this appetizer, large, salty sourdough pretzels work best. They have a tangy, irresistible flavor that is great for parties and pairs nicely with any beverage thanks to the marinade.

Made it with rotisserie chicken… Insanity Devine! I mixed with the cream cheese some soft goat cheese with herbs. Insanity
This was absolutely delicious. The recipe didn’t say anything about how long to wait after coming out of the oven to eat it. When it came out I let it cool for a bit, but it was still too liquid to really be able to dip chips into it. I did try and it was good but messy. The good news is later in the evening it seemed to set up nicely and the next day it has been awesome. I love Cincinnati Chilli and I used 2 cans of Skyline Chilli. I think this would be great also to make it even more like traditional Cincinnati chilli by adding some chopped onions on top too.
I have made this ALOT and I always add 1 cup of sour cream to the cream cheese and mix with hand mixer. This is the only change I have made to this.
Simple and straight forward just how I like a recipe. This would be a big hit for a Superbowl party. Next time I will add shredded lettuce and sliced black olives on top.
