The Great "Buffalo Chicken Mania"

Now before you try either of these dips, know that you should go to taste on the ingredients, especially the hot sauce! You can always add more before, or after you bake the dip. As my friend, Ellen Mueller, whose recipe I adapted, said “This is like eating Buffalo chicken wings without the messy bones!” Now I use Kroger brand of hot sauce, but if that’s not available where you live, use the national brand, like Frank’s original hot sauce.

Buffalo Chicken Dip #1

Add more chicken if you want, etc.
3-4 cups shredded cooked chicken
16 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 to 3/4 cup Hot Sauce

Combine cream cheese, cheddar and hot sauce. Stir in cooked chicken. Spread
in casserole and cover with foil. Preheat oven to 350 and bake covered for
20-30 minutes or until heated through. Or microwave until hot. Serve with chips, crackers, celery sticks with a side of blue cheese dressing.

Buffalo Chicken Dip #2

8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1/2 jar of chunky blue cheese dressing
1/4 to 3/4 cup Franks's hot sauce
4 oz shredded cheddar cheese
Use an 8x8 or 9x9 pan, bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes

1. Spread cream cheese in bottom of pan
2. Layer with chicken
3. Spread hot sauce over chicken
4. Spread the blue cheese dressing over hot sauce
5. Spread shredded cheese. Just cover, not put it on thickly

Serve with big celery chunks or tortilla chips or corn chips (like
Scoops)
