BUFFALO CHICKEN AND BLUE CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Boil in a large sauce pan enough water to cook the chicken breasts.
• Then, boil the chicken until its cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the chicken, pat dry, and shred with a fork.
• Then place the shredded chicken in a large baking dish.
• For a tailgate, I usually use 2 of those disposable 8 by 8 aluminum pans, or one large lasagna-size one.
• Pour your desired amount of hot sauce over the chicken, and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Set this dish in the refrigerator to let the chicken absorb the flavor.
• Preheat your oven to 350.
• Next, over medium heat in a large pan, melt the cream cheese.
• Pour in the blue cheese dressing and stir until they are completely combined.
• Pour this mixture over the chicken.
• Bake for 10 minutes.
• Remove, but don't turn the oven off.
• Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and starting to brown just a little.
• Serve hot or cold with chips!

Steps:

• Tips:
• - Substitute ranch dressing for blue cheese dressing and shredded cheddar cheese for blue cheese crumbles.
• - Make it tailgate friendly - prepare ahead of time and transport in a disposable heavy foil pan. When you get to the tailgate heat it on a grill and serve nice and hot!
• - Make this in the microwave by heating it on high for 5 minutes instead of baking
• - Keep it warm or cook it in a crockpot or slow cooker.

BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

Steps:

• 1. Heat chicken and hot sauce in a skillet over medium heat, until heated through. Stir in cream cheese and ranch dressing. Cook, stirring until well blended and warm. Mix in half of the shredded cheese, and transfer the mixture to a slow cooker. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, cover, and cook on Low setting until hot and bubbly. Serve with celery sticks and crackers.
• My Note: I have used Texas Pete Buffalo Style Chicken Wing Sauce, 1/3 less-fat cream cheese (aka Neufchatel), and 1 lb. of fresh chicken that was boiled for 20 minutes (or until done) and then shredded. However, to avoid the strange "orange sherbert" color of the dip, I layered the ingredients in a 8"x11" baking dish as follows: Mix together the softened cream cheese and ranch dressing and spread evenly in the bottom of the dish. Then mix together the shredded chicken and wing sauce (about 2/3 bottle)and layer on top of the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle just a small amount of shredded cheese (I used Colby/Jack) over the top. Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes or until dip is heated through and cheese is melted. I just think people tend to shy away from the dip when it's all mixed together because of the strange color. It's more recognizable (retains a brighter red color) when it's layered and gets gobbled up faster! Great dip for football season!
• I suggest using more chicken and more hot sauce with this recipe. Also, if you use the chedder cheese, don't use the pre-shredded bags from the grocery store. The cheese in those bags is coated with flour and it seems to make the dip oiler.
• I have use bleu cheese dressing instead of ranch because thats what some like to eat with buffalo chicken! I also used 2 boneless chicken breasts instead of canned chicken (I cant stand canned meats) grilled it in a pan, cut it into bite sized pieces, put it back in the pan with the hot sauce. When I mixed the the cream cheese and bleu cheese together I added more hotsauce for more of a kick. Baked in an 8x8 pan, 350 for 20 minutes. Dip was gone in minutes!

BUFFALO CHICKEN CHEESE BALLS WITH BLUE CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Have oil heated to 350 degrees F.
• Pick the meat from the chicken and discard the skin, then dice.Place the chicken in a large bowl and add the hot sauce, pepper, cheese, and green onions, and toss to combine. Roll the chicken into 2-ounce balls, about the size of a golf ball.
• Place the flour, eggs, and Panko crumbs in 3 separate bowls. Roll each ball in the flour, then the egg and then the bread crumbs. Set aside.
• When the oil is hot fry the chicken balls in batches. Cook for about 2 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
• To make the dip, combine all ingredients in a large bowl and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve the chicken alongside the dipping sauce.
