Man Dip

Earlier this year I tried "man dip" at a friends bachelorette party. The dip was a hit among 20 girls and was the first dish we finished. It tasted just like chicken wings, without the mess! I've been wanting to make this for a long time now and with the start of football season, it was the perfect opportunity! I didn't have the exact recipe, so I visited my friend Google. I found a few recipes and decided to go with a recipe from All Recipes (Buffalo Chicken Dip) and made a few minor changes. Below is the recipe from All Recipes. I used blue cheese dressing instead of ranch, I used buffalo sauce instead of hot sauce, and added blue cheese crumbles to the top of the dish before I baked it. I served it with tortilla chips and it was also delicious with Fritos. This dip was amazing, and I have a feeling I will be making a few more times before the end of the football season!
