Sally says
I made this recipe for my co-workers for the holidays. It was a big hit. This is a great dip to serve at a party as many party dishes are cold. The Spicy Buffalo Chicken Dip being a hot dish was a welcomed addition to the party. We did try various crackers as well as celery stocks for dipping. Pita chips were nice but the celery was everyone’s favorite.
I put the jalapenos on the side as I have a few co-workers NOT into spicy food. The tame crowd did like the dip (it did have a full 5oz bottle of Frank’s hot sauce) I put an extra 1/2 c of Mozzarella cheese to tone down the spice (it was cheesy).
I highly recommend this recipe. If you are having a small gathering I would divided the recipe in half (took all day to eat the dip).
Kim Schob says
Hi Sally, Thank you so much for coming back to take the time to leave such a nice comment.
I’m happy to see that you & your co-workers enjoyed it. I agree with you a hot dish is always the welcome addition to any gathering.
