A family favorite that I kicked up a notch. The Buffalo sauce and extra chicken make this a tasty, zesty dish. Great for tailgating, as an appetizer for parties, or just a lazy day snack. The longer it sits the better the flavors mesh. Serve with crackers.

Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
2 (5 ounce) cans chicken chunks, drained
1 tablespoon Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®), or to taste
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
¼ teaspoon minced garlic, or to taste
½ (1 ounce) package dry ranch dressing mix

Directions

Stir cream cheese until smooth. Mix in chicken until well incorporated. Add Buffalo sauce, mayonnaise, garlic, and ranch dressing mix; mix well.
Scoop onto plastic wrap. Wrap and roll into a tight ball. Refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.

Cook's Note:

Sometimes I split the ball into two before adding the Buffalo sauce just to have one for those that prefer no heat. Either way it's delicious!
