Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
- ½ cup Frank's Original Red Hot Sauce
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup White Cheddar Cheese freshly shredded

- ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese optional to serve

- 10 celery sticks carrot sticks, tortilla chips, crusty bread pieces, potato chips, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange oven rack to the middle of your oven.
- In an 8-inch cast-iron skillet (or an ovenproof pan), melt the butter over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant (30 seconds). Add the chicken and hot sauce and simmer until sauce has thickened and reduced by half (about 2 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and stir in cream cheese; mix until combined. Take off heat, stir through sour cream and top with both cheddar cheese(s) over the top.
- Bake until bubbling around the edges and the cheese has melted (about 10 minutes). Broil (or grill) for a further minute to brown on top.
- Immediately garnish with blue cheese and green onions. Serve with vegetable sticks, chips, crusty bread pieces for dipping.

Notes
- If you don't have a cast-iron skillet or oven-proof pan: prepare all ingredients as per recipe instructions above in a regular pan on the stove. Then transfer buffalo dip to a 1-quart (1-litre) baking dish.
- You can use rotisserie chicken.
- Don't like blue cheese? Feel free to omit it.
- Halve the hot sauce amount for a milder dip.
- Add more hot sauce for spicier dip.
