I made a dip for my meeting with:

1Tblsp rub
1 cup blue cheese salad dressing
1 brick cream cheese
1/4 cup Franks sauce
monterrey jack cheese grated on top
triscuits or wheat thins

HUGE hit at the meeting. Any other ideas?
 
I made a dip last night using the Spinach & Red Pepper Oil Dipping seasoning with mayo & sour cream. My friends loved it!!!!
 
Jenni -- I was thinking about using that dip recipe with a can of chunk chicken...bake at 350 for 15 minutes -- to make the "Buffalo Chicken Dip" and serve with crackers.
 
Someone used it on popcorn. Linda Child??
 
We did it on popcorn for a meeting and then again the other night. YUM! They talk about the recipe on that CD that came. Pop one bag of popcorn (3.5 oz I think). You're supposed to melt 4 Tbsp of butter and mix in 2 Tbsp of the Buffalo Rub. That seemed like a lot of butter, so I think we maybe did 3 Tbsp but on TWO bags of popcorn. It is SO good. I want some right now. When I did it, I may have done about 2.5 Tbsp of butter and 1 Tbsp of rub and it was good, but I may increase the rub next time.

I saw the one with the chicken but did not have any so left it out and liked it a lot. Will be offering it at my shows when it gets a bit cooler here. Would be great with carrots and celery too.
 
Jenni - this is a dumb question, but did you heat that dip or serve it cold?

heated in the micro for 2 minutes in the mini baker. Franks is a red hot sauce used in most buffalo wing recipes
 
Great ideas! I have my meeting on Tuesday so these help LOTS!

Well, you always do such creative things, I immediately thought of you! :candyheart::candyheart:
 
Just made the dip (added chicken) and WOW...it's so yummy! I used ranch b/c I don't like blue cheese. That Buffalo Rub has quite a kick. I usually put 1 cup of Franks Hot Sauce in my Chicken Dip and so I did 1/3 cup and 1 tbsp of the rub...much hotter than normal. I'm eating it with tostitos. Delicious!

So do you think it would be good (but milder) if the Franks sauce was skipped entirely? I've never made this and I don't care for too hot - some, yes but not too much.

I was wondering the same thing, Beth. I have everything to make this except the Franks, and I wanted to make it for my team meeting here tonight.

I don't see why it wouldn't be. I love Franks and it gives it more of the buffalo wing taste (the the orangy buffalo wing color), but I think it would still be good without. If you use it and don't like super hot. I'd do 1/4C of Franks and then maybe 3/4 of a tbsp of the rub. I couldn't believe how spicy it was!! Super good though. Let us know how it turns out if you make it!
 
I have had Frank's hot sauce and I got a bout of heartburn when I read 1 cup!! I think it does add to the over all flavor but maybe if you add a little at a time it would turn out the way you want. Glad you let us know about the kick of the Buffalo Rub! I love a flavor and spice, but I too am from the not too hot club. Can't wait to share this rub with my son and brother! My brother lives in Buffalo and my son loves his chicken wings! Hmmm..thinking of others too!
 
I bought Franks Hot Wing Sauce - figuring it wouldn't be quite as potent as Franks Hot Sauce. I have Ranch dressing, but Bleu cheese to put in it, and I'm making it for my Team Meeting here tonight!
 
I did this for my Team Meeting - and it was a HIT!

But here is how I did it....because I'm a Hot Sauce Wimp!

8 oz. cream cheese
1 can chicken
1 cup Ranch dressing
1/4 cup Bleu Cheese crumbles
1/4 cup Franks Wing Sauce
1 heaping Teas. Buffalo Rub
4 oz. grated cheddar

I mixed everything except the cheddar together in a mini baker, then sprinkled the cheddar over the top, and popped it in the micro for a couple minutes til it was melty. I served it with celery & carrot sticks, and tortilla chips. It received Thumbs Up's from all of my team!
 
Thanks a bunch! Going to try this and the dip Colleen did too!

I had the cans of chicken from Costco, which are large, so I just used about half...so like a regular size can from the grocery store?


Gheez, I don't know Linda - don't ask me the hard questions!:bugeye:

ahem....you are the recipe queen....didn't mean to tax your brain :angel:
 
I'm guessing a 10 oz can
 
Made this for my meeting last night and I took two med. sized boneless skinless chicken breasts that were frozen solid as a rock. Microwaved them for 12 minutes flipping every 4 minutes. Then I diced them into the rest of the ingredients. So good and Colleen I did your dip and that was a hit as well! THANK YOU ALL!!!:chef:
 
I love that Chicken Wing Dip. It is sooooo good!! I can't wait to try the Buffalo rub on popcorn. Okay, what else???? Come on Becky!;):p LOL!
