BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a (9-inch) deep-dish pie plate add the cream cheese and stir with a fork until smooth.
• Stir in the dressing, hot sauce and cheeses. Mix in the canned chicken and bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken mixture is hot and bubbling.
• Stir before serving with crackers, chips, and/or veggies.

BUFFALO DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Rinse and pat dry the drumsticks. Mix the oil, chili powder, garlic powder, and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl or resealable plastic bag. Toss the drumsticks in the seasoned oil to coat well. Bake the drumsticks on a wire rack placed on a baking sheet (so air circulates around chicken) until very tender and the skin is crisp, 50 minutes.
• For the spicy sauce: Mix together the butter, hot sauce and BBQ sauce in a large bowl.
• Toss the drumsticks in the spicy sauce until well coated. Place the drumsticks back on the rack and continue baking an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
• Cook's Note: For an alternate milder sauce, whisk together 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon hot sauce, juice and zest of 1 lime, 1 clove of garlic, minced and some salt and pepper.

BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In an 8-inch cast-iron or ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and hot sauce and simmer until the sauce has thickened and reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Turn off the heat, then stir in the lemon juice, sour cream and cream cheese until combined. Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese over the top.
• Bake until bubbling around the edges and the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes. If you'd like the top to get browned, run it under the broiler for a minute or two.
• Immediately garnish with blue cheese and chives. Serve with chips, bread or vegetables for dipping.

CHEESY BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts in a large saucepan; cover with water. Boil until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from water, and cool. Pull meat from bones and skin. Shred meat and reserve.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in large skillet. Stir in celery; cook until soft. Mix in the cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, and ranch dressing. Cook and stir until smooth and creamy. Stir in the shredded chicken and hot sauce. Spoon mixture into an 8x8 baking dish. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
