Recipe: Smoked Buffalo chicken dip

Taste of TNF: Smoked Buffalo chicken dip

Dr. BBQ demonstrates how to cook up this week's football-inspired recipe, combining the tastes of Kansas City and Buffalo.

Last week's Thursday night game between the Chiefs and the Bills was at first postponed, then moved to Monday. Despite all of the craziness, our Dr. BBQ discovered fans are still hungry for football any day of the week.

For this Monday evening matchup between Kansas City and Buffalo, he combined KC BBQ with Buffalo flavoring in this delicious dip.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup ranch dressing
1/3 cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
½ cup blue cheese crumbles
¼ cup barbecue sauce

3 cups of smoked or grilled chicken, chopped

Crusty bread
Celery stick
Pork rinds

INSTRUCTIONS
