Jan’s Fiery Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip
Posted by Ben | Under Lick The Plate Clean Recipes, Party Foods / Football - Tailgaiting Sunday Sep 14, 2008Recipe from Jan Norris - www.JanNorris.com
Don’t use fat-free cream cheese — the stuff is vile. Use the “lite” version instead to cut back on fat. Don’t skimp on the blue cheese, either. That’s what makes the dip. Otherwise, it’s very forgiving — you can vary it to suit your tastes. (Do NOT used canned chicken, however. Yuck!)
Serve it with Fritos, or tortilla chips, or get creative and make a flatbread pizza with it as the topping.
I got nuts with the heat for one batch, and put in two bottles of the hot sauce. It was too hot for most of my guests - but an 18-year-old girl nearly made herself ill eating four plates of the stuff.
Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup Franks® Red Hot® Wing sauce (I use 1 bottle)
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 chicken breasts, cooked, cubed
1 cup feta cheese, or Monterey jack
Put all ingredients in a saucepot (or double recipe and put into a small Crock-Pot).
Cook on medium-low heat until cheeses are melted. Reduce heat to low and cook 30 minutes to blend flavors.
Serve while warm with chips or flatbreads.

This sounds so good - can’t wait to try it!
Denise — Jan tells me this recipe will become a hit at your next party. She cautions that the hot sauce can make this extremely hot, so you may wish to taste before adding the full amount.
If you like wings, this one is fantastic!
like the wings. i put the sauce on for the last 10 minutes and it came out perfect.
This stuff is addicting believe or not!!
I know what Jan means about the fat free cream cheese. Always on a diet, I tried using it in a recipe–in place of regular cream cheese. Blah! What a disaster!
This works great in a slow cooker. reduced fat is good in the cream cheese, because otherwise the dip gets greasy…. I use feta bcause I’m not wild for blue cheese.
Sounds great! But “Feiry” shold be spelled “Fiery” - once an English teacher always and English teacher - although these may be hot enough to be “feired”
Glenn — thank you for the correction. I am glad you seen it and brung it to my attention. I don’t never like to spell anything wrong. Feiry is now Fiery!
great to see Jan norris”s posting on your site. She like so many talented journalist’s made the Post what it is today…local talent with a local perspective…Her restaurant reviews have lead me to many a memorable dinner . Pretty soon Ben will be co-hosting a saturday show with Paula Dean and the two will be yackin it up about corn bread and fat back and giggling over a pot of black-eyed peas. Food brings everyone together…maybe Obama and McCain could have a cooking debate over who makes the best pizza…It would be a lot better than the negative tv ads…..
