Buffalo Chicken Dip

gruntlady's Note:

don't know where this recipe came from but my son makes this to take to all the parties he is invited to and the ones he hosts himself..I love it hope you will too. there are a few recipes for this here at zarr but this one is a little different than others

• Total Time: 1 hrs
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 20

Yield: 5.0 cups

• 5 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
• 2 (8 ounce) cream cheese
• 1 (12 ounce) bottle Frank's red hot sauce
• 2 cups diced celery
• 1 cup ranch dressing or 1 cup blue cheese
• 1 cup monterey jack cheese , shredded (or cheddar)

Directions:

1. In skillet, toss shredded chicken with Red Hot. Add cream cheese in pieces. Add celery and ranch until melted. Pour into 9 x 13 pan. Top with cheese. Bake at 350F for 20-30 minutes. Serve with chips. I like Fritos or tortilla chips. Ritz crackers are good too.
2. Depending on how hot you like it, you can play with the amount of Red Hot.
3. (I have not tried the crockpot but this should work).
4. For crockpot: transfer the heated mixture into the crockpot and sprinkle the cheese over heat on low -- the cooking/prep times are a guess might shorter.

this recipe is VERY good! The only problem i had with it was the amount of hot sauce it says to use. I only used 3/4 of the bottle of sauce and it was still way too hot! Im going to make it again tomorrow for a BBQ and plan on just using a half a bottle this time. I love wings and all but wow. if you can handle the heat this recipe is def for you! thanks for a great recipe i will use again and again!

Definitely an awesome versatile recipe. I had mixed comments on this 1 but you do haveta like HOT!!!! Let your imagination go with this one, so much you can add. I baked 4 chicken breasts seasoned with Stubb's Lime Rub, cooled, shredded and put in refrigerator will preparing other appetizers. I followed the recipe as is and it was hot, crunchy and creamy, the consistency is perfect and like I said experiment, add less red hot and add seasonings of your choice. Maybe green onions, shallots or water chestnuts or even peppers of choice would work in this wonderful dip. Thanks so much gruntlady for a definite keeper
