Buffalo Chicken Dip

Weekends in the fall are dedicated to one thing and one thing only... Football. College and NFL. If you don't know me, I am a huge NIU Huskies fan. My husband and I both graduated from NIU and will live and breathe Huskies football. While I dare not to comment(even though I have PLENTY of comments) on this weekend's game versus Arkansas, I still love the Huskies even though we do not have as strong of a team as we have had in the past. And well for my NFL team, I root for whoever is on my fantasy football team and DA BEARS. I am VERY competitive when it comes to fantasy football, SO DON'T ASK ME WHY I DIDN'T START DESEAN JACKSON THIS WEEKEND. Ugh, still crying about it.
Football, food and fun. Those three need to happen. And you definitely can't be watching a big game without good gameday food.
So this. THIS dip. It's amazing. And guess what, in the past, I have been making it ALL WRONG. But now I have made it easy and so, so good. The secret ingredient to this dip? Rotisserie chicken. It will change this dip.
We have a place in our local grocery store named the Flaming Bird. They grill an entire chicken on the grill and it is nothing short of amazing. Nice part about it? Only $6 for the entire bird. Yup, quite the steal. If I were to compare the taste of the chicken, it's a lot like El Pollo Loco which is awesome. If you have never had El Pollo Loco, go now.
Quick Notes:
-As for the spiciness of this dip, well, let's just say picky pants was able to eat it and not cry. So that was a good sign. I used Franks Hot Sauce on this dip, but you can use whatever buffalo sauce tickles your fancy.
-Also, if you are a blue cheese fan, sub out the ranch for blue cheese.
-Lastly, you can prepare this beforehand. Just refrigerate it and heat it up before the big game or event.
