BUFFALO CHICKEN CHEESE BALL
A family favorite that I kicked up a notch. The Buffalo sauce and extra chicken make this a tasty, zesty dish. Great for tailgating, as an appetizer for parties, or just a lazy day snack. The longer it sits the better the flavors mesh. Serve with crackers.

BUFFALO CHICKEN CHEESE BALLS WITH BLUE CHEESE DIP
These are simple, delicious and pefect for Super Bowl Sunday or any party! My family and friends always rave about them, sometimes I have to make an extra batch because they go so fast. You don't have to use a rotisserie chicken, but it sure cuts back on the time. If you don't like things too spicy, you can always cut back on the hot sauce and green onions.I like to use peanut oil for frying. They freeze well too. Making the dip ahead of time, then placing in fridge, allows the flavors to marry well. Bring it back to room temp to serve. This is adapted from a Food Network Show, Big Daddy's House. The chef is Aaron McCargo Jr. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- Boil in a large sauce pan enough water to cook the chicken breasts.
- Then, boil the chicken until its cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the chicken, pat dry, and shred with a fork.
- Then place the shredded chicken in a large baking dish.
- For a tailgate, I usually use 2 of those disposable 8 by 8 aluminum pans, or one large lasagna-size one.
- Pour your desired amount of hot sauce over the chicken, and season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Set this dish in the refrigerator to let the chicken absorb the flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 350.
- Next, over medium heat in a large pan, melt the cream cheese.
- Pour in the blue cheese dressing and stir until they are completely combined.
- Pour this mixture over the chicken.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove, but don't turn the oven off.
- Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and starting to brown just a little.
- Serve hot or cold with chips!
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality blue cheese and sharp cheddar cheese.
- If you don't have any blue cheese dressing, you can make your own by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese crumbles, and a few dashes of hot sauce.
- To make the chicken cheese balls ahead of time, simply assemble them and freeze them on a baking sheet. When you're ready to cook them, preheat the oven and bake them from frozen.
- Serve the chicken cheese balls with your favorite dipping sauce, such as blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
