Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Dip
Description
Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Dip is prepared by mixing shredded cooked chicken with hot sauce to infuse heat and tang, then blending in mayonnaise, shredded cheese, lemon juice, and chopped green onions for creaminess and flavor depth. The mixture is spread into a shallow dish and topped with crumbled blue cheese, then baked until bubbly and heated through.
The dip boasts a creamy texture with spicy and savory notes balanced by the cool creaminess of mayonnaise and the sharpness of blue cheese. The melting cheese enriches the texture, creating a comforting warm casserole-style appetizer.
Serve this dip with tortilla chips, Ritz crackers, or pita chips for scooping. The recipe suggests that while rotisserie chicken is recommended for tenderness, other cooked chicken forms may be used. Heat levels can be adjusted by varying the hot sauce and tasting as you go.
This dip can easily be doubled to serve a larger group by using a bigger baking dish. It is best served warm right out of the oven.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken shredded, cooked
- 1/3 cup hot sauce Frank's brand

Notes
