I just heard on the radio that the number one food that will be consumed on Super Bowl Sunday is chicken wings – 1.25 billion of them!  Yikes- that’s a lot of wings.

If you are a football fan planning your Super Bowl nosh we’ve got you covered {even if you are just in it for the food and the commercials…}.  This buffalo chicken dip is always a game-day favorite – all the flavor of wings without the mess! 😉  Serve it up with chips, celery sticks, or crackers, but make sure you have plenty- it will go fast.  Not a football fan?  No worries, this dip is perfect for any gathering or party!

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Ingredients:

2 cup cooked and shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well}
3/4 cup wing sauce (like Frank’s Red Hot), divided
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup ranch dressing, divided {or use blue cheese dressing}
1 cup Mexican cheese blend {or blue cheese}
celery and radish for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine chicken with 1/2 cup hot sauce, set aside.  Mix together cream cheese, 2 tablespoons hot sauce,  and 1/4 cup ranch dressing.  Spread into an ungreased, shallow 2 quart baking dish or pie plate.  Top the cream cheese mix with the Buffalo chicken.  Sprinkle with cheese and drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup ranch dressing, then drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons hot sauce so you get some pretty red color on top.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and beginning to brown.

Serve with celery sticks, radish slices and tortilla chips or crackers.

Serves 6-8
