Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken (shredded)
- 1/3 cup Frank’s Hot Sauce
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Mexican blend recommended)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons green onions (finely chopped)
- 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
For Serving
- Green onions (chopped, for garnish)
- Crackers or tortilla chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the dip.
- Mix Chicken and Hot Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken with Frank’s Hot Sauce, tossing until the chicken is well coated for that signature buffalo flavor.
- Add Creamy Ingredients and Cheese: Stir in the mayonnaise, shredded cheese, lemon juice, and finely chopped green onions thoroughly to blend the flavors and create a creamy mixture.
- Prepare for Baking: Spread the mixture evenly into a 1.5-quart shallow baking dish or pie plate. Evenly sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the top to add a tangy richness.
- Bake the Dip: Place the dish uncovered in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes until the dip is bubbly and heated through.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove from oven, garnish with additional chopped green onions, and serve warm with your choice of crackers, tortilla chips, Ritz crackers, or pita chips for dipping.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for easy prep; shredded freshly cooked chicken also works well.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce according to your preferred spice level.
- For extra cheesiness, add a little more shredded cheese on top before baking.
- Serve immediately after baking for best texture and flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
