Key Ingredients

• Cream Cheese – make sure that the cream cheese is softened.  If you forget to pull it out to room temperature ahead of time, you can transfer it into a microwave-safe container and warm for 10 seconds at a time in the microwave.
• Sour Cream – full fat or lite will work.
• Frank’s Red Hot Sauce – you can use another brand of hot sauce if you’d like, but this is the classic for buffalo chicken!
• Chicken – you can use any type of cooked chicken that you want.  You can pre-cook chicken breast, use rotisserie chicken, Chicken Tenders, or even leftover chicken that you might have around.
• Shredded Cheese – we use a mixture of mozzarella and Pepper Jack cheese, but you could easily substitute Monterey Jack.
• Ranch Powder – you can find Ranch dressing powder in the salad dressing section at your grocery store.
• Blue Cheese Crumbles – any type of blue cheese crumbles will work.  If you aren’t a fan, you can skip this!
• Bacon Bits – this is an optional garnish, but tastes so good!  It’s simple to make your own, or you can purchase them from the store.
• Ritz Crackers – any similar buttery crackers will work.  You want to crush these into small pieces.
• Parmesan Cheese – any grated or shredded Parmesan cheese will work.
• Butter – this should be melted and mixed into the crackers and Parmesan cheese to make your crumb topping.  Salted or unsalted will both work – it’s up to you and how salty you like things.

How to Make Frank’s Buffalo Dip

1. Mix.  In the bowl of a stand mixer, add room temperature cream cheese, sour cheese and Frank’s Hot Sauce.  Using the paddle attachment on medium speed, cream together until fluffy and well combined.  Add the chicken, mozzarella cheese, Pepper Jack cheese, ranch powder, green onions and half of the blue cheese crumbles. Mix again on medium speed until incorporated.
2. Spread into a baking dish.  Spray an 8″x8″ baking dish with non-stick cooking spray, then spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
3. Make cracker crumb topping.  In a separate bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, Parmesan cheese and butter and mix until well combined.  Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cream cheese mixture. 
4. Bake.  Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly on the edges and the crumb topping is golden brown.
5. Garnish and serve.  Remove from the oven and garnish with additional blue cheese, bacon bits and green onions if desired.  Serve hot with crackers, crostini or raw veggies.  Enjoy!
