I have found that my kids eat chips and dip as well or better than they eat anything! If I can take food and make it look like a snack it is a win win situation.
I hate to admit this but not only do I NOT like football I don’t like Buffalo Chicken Wings. Too darn much work! I like the flavor but the tenacious nibbling which results in a molecule and a half of chicken doesn’ t thrill me. This dip, however, does. Yep.. all of the flavor, the spice, the yum… but without all of the frustration. SCORE!
I will tell you a secret, too. I used bacon and NOT chicken in it as well and the bacon was fantastic too. It did make it a little salty but it would be great with beer.
I think it would be less salty if you used the Louisiana Hot Sauce rather than Franks. If you love salty food go with the Franks.
I am pretty sure this would be amazing in a sandwich, or rolled into a tortilla, or used as a dip for chicken nuggets. Use your imagination!
Need a great snack for Super Bowl Sunday? Try this. You will like it. I promise.
