Spice up your tailgating

With football season here I have to share one of my favorite football snacks.
My hubby and I love hot wings and now Gage does too!
Thanks to my friend Summer we can enjoy the taste of hot wings without the messy bones.
And it saves your lips from the burn of biting off the bone!

Spicy Chicken Dip
Qty - 3 chicken breasts (i have used canned before and taste just as good, whatever your personal preference is)
Qty - 1 small bottle of hot sauce (I like Franks)
Qty - 1 bottle Ranch dressing - small bottle will work fine or about 2/3 of a large bottle
Qty - 1 package of cream cheese
Qty - 1 package mozzarella cheese (2 cup size)

Boil chicken until done. Drain water and shred the chicken into small
pieces. Wash the pan and place shredded chicken back in pan and add bottle
of hot sauce. Simmer this mixture for about 45 minutes. Spread the cream
cheese into the bottom of a 9x9 or 8 1/2 x 11 pan and pour the chicken
mixture on top and level out. Pour the ranch dressing and smooth over the
top. Place mozzarella cheese on top and bake at 350 degrees until the cheese
melts and boils around the sides.

Serve with "Scoop" style chips or corn chips and a nice icy beverage of your choice. I prefer LandShark but again personal preference! Curl up and enjoy an afternoon of college football!


Sideline note:
** do not add the ranch dressing and mozzarella cheese if you are making
ahead of time to refrigerate overnight.
