Buffalo Chicken Dip

[jkath]

I forgot to thank Buckytom for his wonderful buffalo chicken dip recipe.
I made it on New Year's Eve, and I loved it. I think next time, I will only put it in the oven for 5 mintutes till the top cheese melts, as the chicken was really hot when I was putting it all together.

Anyway, if you can find this recipe (I couldn't, but it's morning here, and I'm lucky to find my coffee cup), make it. It's in the appetizer forum, and the dates are about a week before New Years.


Bucky, Bucky
he's our man
if he can't cook it
no one can!

[buckytom]

lol, thanks jkath. it really is an awesome dip. would be great for super bowl parties. i think i'll have to make it again soon. here's te recipe, one mo time:

BONNIE'S BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, about 2 pounds, boiled, drained & shredded with 2 forks (crockpot is a great way to cook the chicken) Don't cut chicken into chunks..it needs to be shredded

1 - 12 ounce bottle Frank's Louisiana Hot Sauce (try not to substitute here, Frank's really is the best. Crystal would be okay but do NOT use Tabasco)

2 - 8 ounce packages cream cheese

1 - 16 ounce bottle Ranch dressing

1/2 cup chopped celery

8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 13x9x2 inch baking pan, combine shredded cooked chicken meat with entire bottle of Frank's sauce, spreading to form an even layer.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese and entire bottle of Ranch dressing, stirring til hot & smooth. Pour this evenly over chicken mixture.

Sprinkle with celery. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes; then sprinkle with cheese and bake for another 15-20 minutes or til bubbly. Serve with celery sticks for dippers and/or any sturdy dipping chip like Tostito Golds.

(and a word to the wise...if you are bringing it to someone's house....don't cover it in foil, as the cheese on top that touches it will become attached in a way isn't pretty....)

Thanks from me too, buckster, for re-posting this. Tres timely, considering football games I will actually watch are imminent.

I made this for a party at a friend's home and it was a BIG hit. You can't go wrong with it. :)

When I read a good new recipe, I always try to imagine who I'd make it for in my family or circle of friends. If you'd like to know, this one is going to be made for John and Walt. (My guitarist and his brother, respectively.)

THANX BUCK! Killer Recipe!!!!!

Looks great Bucky.

Couple of questions

1. Frank's Louisiana Hot Sauce - hot BBQ sauce or non sweet chilli sauce?
2. Ranch dressing - no idea, never dressed a Ranch before.

[buckytom]

heya brooksy. frank's hot sauce is neither bbq nor sweet chilli. it's made from pureed aged cayenne peppers and vinegar, salt, and garlic powder. it's not very hot as hot sauces go. more vinegar-y but it is the defining flavor of buffalo wings.

i'm not sure how to describe ranch dressing, except that it's white and creamy. has anyone ever made it before that can describe it better?

Ya know I had this at a friends house quite a while ago, and loved it. Thanks for refreshing my memory!!!
