Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe

Fidel

About 25 or so eggheads and spouses met today at vidalia1's house - too many people to name but definitely a good crowd. Anyway, the theme was "tailgating favorites" so I brought a buffalo chicken dip and several people asked me for the recipe. Instead of forgetting to send it to anyone that asked, I will just post it here.

I started with 2 b/s breasts and 4 b/s thighs. Coated them all with Raging River and cooked direct on a raised grid at 350 until done. Then I chopped all that chicken fairly finely and put it in a large mixing bowl.

To that I added 3 c. shredded cheddar cheese, 3 8 oz. packages of softened cream cheese, 1.5 c. Frank's Red Hot, and 12 oz. blue cheese dressing. Mixed it up (mix very well or the cream cheese will not melt or distribute well in the final product), put it in a dutch oven, and back into the egg indirect at 350 for about an hour, stirring every 10 minutes. Toward the end of the cook the cheddar will give off a good bit of oil that you need to drain with a ladle or mop with paper towels.

Let it cool to set just a bit, and serve while still warm with your favorite tortilla chips.

This is a smaller recipe if you are serving a smaller crowd:

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup pepper sauce, such as Franks® Red Hot®
1 cup blue cheese salad dressing (or ranch dressing or a mixture of both)
2 cups diced cooked chicken
1.5 cup shredded Cheddar cheese


No pictures because there is nothing visually appealing about this dip, but it is quite tasty.
