Tammy: I thought this recipe would be great for tailgate parties… the flavor of wings without any of the work!! And I was right! All of my taste-testers agreed it was awesome! My neighbor, whose family loves wings, took one bite and said “Oooh.. I’ve got to get the recipe for this from you!” I gave Rob a scoop and some tortilla chips to try it. My oldest son asked to try it. They both said it was great. Next thing I know, both of the boys have taken the bowl and chips from Rob, and are eating it as fast as they can, to try and get more than the other. Which really surprised me, because the youngest doesn’t eat much spicy food. Guess this was the exception! Spicy-wimp that I am, I must admit I had a few bites. I reached for my water quick, but it was good enough to have a few more!

Comments:
The taste of Buffalo Wings without all the work! This thick and spicy dip is sure to be a hit with wing lovers. If you think it might be too spicy for you, start with 1/4 C. of hot sauce and add from there, if needed. Feel free to use your favorite dippers too… bread sticks, celery sticks… whatever sounds good!
