Inspired by the famous spicy buffalo wings, this dip incorporates chicken and hot sauce into a warm, creamy, cheesy dip.
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, boiled, drained, and shredded with 2 forks
1 bottle (12 ounce size) Frank's Louisiana hot sauce
2 packages (8 ounce size) cream cheese
1 bottle (16 ounce size) ranch salad dressing
1/2 cup celery, chopped
8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a 13x9x2 inch baking pan, mix together the shredded cooked chicken meat and entire bottle of hot sauce, spreading to form an even layer.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese and entire bottle of Ranch dressing, stirring til hot and smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken mixture to form a second layer. Sprinkle with chopped celery and bake uncovered for 20 minutes, then sprinkle on cheese and bake for another 15 - 20 minutes til bubbly.
Serve hot or at room temp with celery sticks and/or any sturdy chip.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Awesome!!! I used Franks Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce as the hot sauce and Wegmans Brand Caramelized Onion and Bacon Ranch dressing instead of plain Ranch dressing 5 out of 5 stars Friends and family rave about this recipe.

I think this recipe is perfect! I like the extra hot sauce, it gives it a great tanginess that goes great with beer and tortilla chips. After trying this recipe, the other recipes for this seem bland. I make it without the celery in it because I dip celery stalks in it while I eat it. Delicious! Try making it with a rotisserie chicken.
WAYWAYWAY too much hot sauce in this recipe,it ruins the dish,should only be 1/2 cup,not entire bottle of sauce
How do you shredd the chicken for this recipe?
