½cupBuffalo sauceAdds that signature spicy kick (Frank’s Red Hots is recommended).
1 ½cupsShredded cheddar cheese, divided
Garnishes and Dippers
2tablespoonsBlue cheese dressing or RanchFor garnish.
Fritos scoops
Baguette slices
Carrot and celery sticks
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, buffalo sauce, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Use a large spatula to blend everything until you achieve a smooth and uniform mixture.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the bottom of a 1.5-quart baking dish. Make sure it's evenly distributed to ensure even baking and melting of the cheese.
Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the chicken mixture. This will create a deliciously gooey cheese layer as it bakes.
Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on it until the cheese is melted and bubbly for the best experience.
Remove the dip from the oven and immediately drizzle it with your choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing. Serve warm with a variety of dippers like baguette slices, Fritos, and carrot or celery sticks. Enjoy!
Notes
Use shredded rotisserie chicken to save time.
Monitor the baking time closely for best results.
Experiment with cheese types for added flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
