Notes
*Tip: You may need to add additional chicken broth before serving to achieve desired consistency. The amount of heat can be adjusted easily to suit individual tastes by increasing or decreasing the amount of hot sauce and jalapeno used. Although the serving suggestions offered below are gluten-free, this tasty dip can also serve with crackers or crusty bread. I personally like the cheese on top crusty (not burnt ) add to a cast iron skillet or heavy-duty skillet of some sort than under the broiler for seconds for that golden brown look and cheese is crispy, Yes Please!

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).
