New Appetizer Recipe - Frank's RedHot Buffalo Chicken Dip



In preparation for a few Christmas parties I'm trying out a new appetizer recipe - Frank's RedHot Buffalo Chicken Dip.  My niece Paulina has made this for some of our family gatherings in the past.  I have recently become addicted to the Subway Buffalo Chicken sub, so I thought this would be a great recipe to try out.

It sure looks yummy!

FRANK'S® REDHOT® BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP


Servings: 4 cups dip


Prep Time: 5

8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened


1/2 cup blue cheese or ranch salad dressing


1/2 cup FRANK'S® REDHOT® Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce or FRANK'S® REDHOT® Buffalo Wing Sauce


1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese or shredded mozzarella cheese


2 cans (12.5 oz. each) White Premium Chunk Chicken Breast in Water, drained

TIPS:
