Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip

"I first tried this buffalo chicken wing dip at my neighbor's picnic. A friend of theirs brought it and we munched on it all night til it was gone! I love this recipe for picnics, potlucks and tailgate parties. It's a much less messy way of enjoying chicken wings. My oldest son loves it. You can make it as spicy hot as you want...or leave it mild. It's best served warm, but you can also eat it cool."

  1. Being near the home of the original Buffalo Chicken Wings from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY - I, of course, made this using 1 bottle of Anchor Bar wing sauce instead of hot sauce. Tastes exactly like the Buffalo Wings we get there! A note: I skip the shredded cheese. I use shredded chicken breasts, 1 bottle Anchor Bar wing sauce, 2 pkg cream cheese, 1 bottle ranch salad dressing, and 1-1/2 cups very good quality crumbled bleu cheese. The Anchor Bar sauce and the bleu cheese crumbles are really what makes this dip. I put all the ingredients into a crockpot and bring the crockpot with me when bringing this to potluck events. Sometimes I will triple the amount of chicken and make "chicken wing salad" for sandwiches or wraps. Super yum!
     
  2. I love literally every recipe on this site I am also a native Buffalonian (which really means nothing). Here are some tips. Ranch and salad dressing is blasphemy. Wings are dark meat so use boneless thighs. Only Marie’s blue cheese and Franks hot sauce. Celery is a side. PEACE.
     
  3. I use a ¾ of a large bottle of Frank's celery seed and Marie's blue cheese and I also buy a cooked chicken and use the whole thing even the dark meat. It is by far the best wing dip I've ever had.
     
  4. I have made this many times, my changes are: When I poach the chicken I add chicken base, parsley onion powder, garlic powder & pepper. My honey likes the broth + it adds flavor. I also add both ranch & blue cheese = amounts + melted butter abt. 1/2 stick. My cheeses are a mixture of many moz, cheddar, Colby, Monterey I might go over a little but try to stick to amount in recipe. Plus I make my ranch home made with the hidden valley packets. This calls for all mayo but I add = amount of sour cream And us 1/2 & 1/2 or butter milk this is much better then bottled.
     
  5. I've been making this dip for over a year now, and procrastinated in rating it. It's absolutely delicious! Usually I don't add as much Frank's, just because my family can't handle it. I also serve the celery on the side, and use whatever shredded cheese I might have in the house. Thanks for the great recipe!

Tweaks

  1. I love your recipe
     
  2. Celery seed instead on chopped celery.
     
  3. I tweak the chicken, dressings, & cheeses & add butter
     
  4. I made this for Thanksgiving appetizers, and everyone loved it. We used lowfat cream cheese and substituted greek yogurt for the ranch and added bleu cheese crumbles. It was great!
