Can I use ranch instead of blue cheese dressing?

Absolutely! This is actually the great debate among frank's buffalo chicken dip fans. Ranch makes it milder and creamier, while blue cheese gives that authentic buffalo wing joint tang. My family splits down the middle - I make two batches when hosting contentious game days!

How do I make it spicier?

Easy peasy - just splash in more Frank's RedHot sauce! I usually add an extra tablespoon when making it for my fire-breathing friends. For serious heat warriors, a dash of cayenne pepper or some minced jalapeños really kicks it up. Just warn your guests first - I've caused some unexpected sweating incidents!

Can I prepare this dip ahead of time?

You bet! This franks buffalo chicken dip is my #1 make-ahead party lifesaver. Mix everything except the topping cheese, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready, sprinkle the cheese and bake as usual - just add 5 extra minutes since it's going in cold. Leftovers? They reheat beautifully too!
