Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the chicken by shredding about 2 cups (300 g) of cooked meat.

- Pour in 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce and stir to combine evenly.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well.
- Fold in the shredded chicken, ensuring every piece is coated.
- Stir in the blue cheese crumbles and chopped celery (reserve some blue cheese for topping if desired).
- Transfer the mixture into an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish and smooth the top.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges bubble and cheese is golden brown.
- Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
If the dip is too thick before baking, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to loosen. For extra spice, add cayenne or more buffalo sauce. Bake uncovered for a crispy top. Prepare ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours; add 5-10 minutes to baking time if baking cold. Stir gently before baking if ingredients have settled. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice after baking can brighten flavors.
