Best Buffalo Chicken Dip

Dec 28, 2018

2 min read

I’ve had lots of Buffalo Chicken Dip at parties and most were just meh. I’veadded some additional ingredients to kick up the flavors, and although it isn’tburn your tongue off, it is nice and spicy (I’d say Medium). This is perfect not just for parties, but asan Appetizer, Game Day Snack, Back Yard BBQ, Movie Night or Game Night at home,etc. If you’re serving a crowd, betterat least double it. Try a plate ofFrench Fries with this dip poured in the center. VERY GOOD!

INGREDIENTS: YIELDS ABOUT 3 CUPS

2 ½ cups leftover shredded Chicken(Rotisserie works great)

1 TBSP Butter

1/3 cup Celery, diced fine

3 cloves Garlic, minced

¼ cup sweet Onion, diced

¾ cup Frank’s Hot Sauce

¼ cup Water *

Black Pepper (A few dashes)

5 TBSP Cream Cheese, cut in chunks

5 TBSP Sour Cream or Prepared RanchDressing

1 tsp Parsley

¾ cup Shredded Cheddar or Colby Monterey Jack Cheese

1/3 +/- cup Blue Cheese, crumbled

Extra Parsley to garnish. Thinly sliced Green Onions are very nicealso.

* The water keeps the dip from becoming too thick as it cools. Most of the water simmers out while you’re cooking. I find that it will become thick enough to break your crackers without the water.

PREPARATION:

In an oven-proof skillet, melt the Butter. Add Celery, Garlic, and Onion. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes.

Add the Hot Sauce, Water, Pepper, and Chicken. Cook until it begins to simmer. Stir, and add the Cream Cheese, and 1 tspParsley. Keep stirring, because theCream Cheese is going to melt. Once itis melted, remove from heat and add Sour Cream. Stir until blended.

Sprinkle the Shredded Cheddar on top. Pop pan under a preheated broiler for just enough time for the cheese tomelt. It will only take a fewminutes. (Is your mouth watering yet?)

Sprinkle about 1/3 cup Crumbly Blue Cheese on top. You can add extra Parsley now if you wish,but not necessary and it has plenty of color. The Blue Cheese is going to become soft and blend with the top layer ofDip. It might be a little tacky, but Ilike to serve it right in my little cast iron pan (As long as children aren’teating it. Cast iron stays hot for along time. That’s why I like to servethe Dip this way. It helps retain theheat of the Dip).

Serve with Vegetable Sticks, Assorted Crackers, Toasted Pita Chips, Melba Toast or serve over French Fries!
