INGREDIENTS

  • 2 Cups shredded chicken
  • 12 oz. cream cheese (1 1/2 bricks)
  • 1/2 Cup Buffalo hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
  • 1/2 Cup blue cheese dressing
  • 1/2 Cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2 Tbsp BBQ seasoning
  • 1/4 Cup Rotel
  • 2 Tbsp additional hot sauce (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat grill to 350 degrees over indirect heat with hickory wood.

  3. Place on grill and cook for 20 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.

NOTES

  1. Substitute blue cheese dressing for ranch if you prefer.
  2. For extra smoky flavor, used smoked chicken and/or smoke the cream cheese at 250 degrees for an hour prior.
  3. Add more heat flavor to the dip by adding another hot sauce that is hotter than Buffalo, using spicy seasoning, and using a hotter Rotel.
  4. Dip with tortilla chips, crackers, naan bread, carrots and celery.
