Redhot Buffalo Chicken Dip

Nana Lee's Note:

I picked this up from our local paper along with a coupon to purchase Frank's Redhot Buffalo Wing Sauce or Frank's Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce. I haven't made this yet but I'm saving it for the 4th! Of course you could use your fav hot or buffalo wing sauce.

Delicious! I used fresh cooked chicken, ranch dressing, mozzarella cheese, and Frank's Buffalo wing sauce. It was flavorful with a great kick. Thanks for sharing! PARTY '11

I gave this recipe 4 stars. I'm updating my review. I'm so sorry I thought I updated my review a while back. When I made this dip I made it as directed. For my families taste this was way to spicy. Our mouths were on fire. After my review the poster of the recipe gave me a few suggestions to help cut the spicy flavor down a bit. She said try mixing up a new batch but leave out the hot sauce mix that in with orignal batch and see if that helped cut the heat. Sure did it worked like a charm. The poster suggested next time try making the dip with half the hot sauce which is what I plan to do next time. My original review was on Dec 31st , 2009. I wrote I hate to give this such as low star rating but this was way to spicy for my families taste. I followed the directions using shredded mozzarella and canned chicken. I must say when mixing this I was really worried about how soupy this was until I added the chicken then it thickened right up. Overall I'll make this again with the less spicy way. Thanks for posting a good recipe! Christine (internetnut)
