As is appropriate for Super Bowl Sunday, I made Buffalo Chicken... Dip. Served it on sourdough toasts. It was good, but something seemed to be missing. I tried it cold when I first mixed it together and thought it tasted a little better (even though I abhor cold chicken), but it did not have the greatest mouth-feel cold. What I will probably do if I make this again is to stir some chopped celery leaves and possibly some cider vinegar into it since I think the flavors it is missing are "green" and tart.
I got the recipe from this blog, but ended up altering a few things. I used three baked (with salt and pepper) boneless skinless chicken breasts (that I cooked at home) instead of the rotisserie chicken. I shredded the chicken breasts and mixed them with Tabasco sauce, but nowhere near the 1/2 cup of hot sauce called for. I just added it to taste until the chicken was sufficiently spicy. And then I used Homemade Ranch Dressing in place of the store-bought ranch and blue cheese dressing. I mixed the ranch dressing with the cream cheese, then added the blue cheese, then added the chicken. Also, I put it together earlier in the day and kept it in the refrigerator, so it was pretty well chilled and took nearly 40 minutes to heat through.
