- Then, boil the chicken until its cooked through, about 15 minutes.

- 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.

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!

Tips:

- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the chicken breasts and celery by hand, but it will take a bit longer.
- Be sure to season the chicken mixture well with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Use your favorite brand of hot sauce. Frank's RedHot is a classic, but you can also use Sriracha, Tabasco, or any other hot sauce you like.
- Don't overcook the chicken balls. They should be cooked through, but still moist and juicy.
- Serve the chicken balls immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Blue cheese dip is a classic, but you can also use ranch dressing, honey mustard, or any other dipping sauce you like.

These buffalo chicken cheese balls are the perfect party appetizer or game day snack. They're easy to make, delicious, and always a hit with a crowd. So next time you're looking for a fun and tasty snack, give these buffalo chicken cheese balls a try. You won't be disappointed!
