This hot dip is perfect for a tailgate party or anytime! Shredded chicken, cream cheese, hot sauce and lots of melted cheese create a wonderful buffalo wing flavor on a chip or with veggie sticks.

I love this dip! I made a few changes: I used 2 cans of chicken (12.5 oz each), 2 stalks of celery finely chopped, I didn't use blue cheese or ranch dressing instead I used 1 16oz container of sour cream and a packet of ranch dip seasoning and made the ranch dip. I added it all to the mix. The ranch dip has a better taste than the dressing to me. All in all the dip was a hit at girls night....they are already asking me to make it for our next get together :) Read More

I followed as described but turned out dripping with buttery fatty liquid. Probably because of all the cheese. Read More

Insane. INSANE! I made to recipe except I layered it instead of mixing it all together; it just looks better that way in my opinion. I used Hidden Valley Ranch and Paul Newman Chunky Blue Cheese dressings and Frank's Red Hot Wing Sauce. Awesome. Read More

Great recipe though I made a few changes that made it simpliar to make: 3 boneless chix breasts (or 3 cans tho the real thing tastes better) boiled and shredded mix with 1/2 - 1 cup of hot sauce. Then add 2 packages of softened cream cheese (do NOT use the fat free it doesn't mix well you may use the 1/3 less fat) add 1 cup of GOOD blue cheese dressing; add 1- 3 celery stalks coarsely chopped. Mix well taste and make sure it is spicy enough for you. Add cheddar cheese on top bake 350 for 20-30 min. Serve with tortilla chips Read More

i made this by boiling a large whole chicken using the breasts for this and the rest for chicken and dumplings. i used a wing sauce i already had in the fridge and store brand ranch and blue cheese dressings. my family loved it. it could even be better with higher quality dressings i'm sure. i used regular cream cheese. it's great with fritos scoops!

Made it for New Years and everyone loved it! I skipped the celery and made it extra spicy. I also used canned chicken (my first time) I shredded it and I have to say it was easier and tasted much better then when I actually boiled the chicken. Read More

Yum!! I dont like blue cheese and usually use ranch when eating wings...but I used both as the recipe stated and it didnt have too strong of a blue cheese-y flavor so I liked it. Only thing was that I couldnt figure out how long to sautee the celery because it never seemed to get "soft" and I actually couldnt even tell it was in the dip when I tasted it (no one else could either) so I think it could easily be left out and just use celery to dip in..or else have the pieces bigger if you want to actually taste it in the dip. Also I used more hot sauce than it called for -- about 3/4 cup and I noticed that it seemed to be really greasy/runny when I took it out of the oven and I think it was just all the extra sauce had settled on the top and I had to sop a lot out with a paper towel..not sure how to avoid that if you want more hot sauce. Everyone commented that it was pretty hot but they still came back to keep eating more! I think it tastes good with crackers and celery although the crackers seemed better since the dip was more on the runny side. I will definitely be making this again! Read More
