Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded Rotisserie Chicken (or leftover grilled chicken)
  • 1 cup cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann’s recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon hot wing sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (or fresh onions)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust based on rotisserie chicken’s saltiness)
  • 1 cup diced celery (for crunch)

Serving Accompaniments

  • 1 bag tortilla chips
  • 1 box crackers (variety recommended)
  • 1 cup fresh veggies (like celery sticks or bell peppers)
  • 1 bag pita chips
  • 1 loaf sliced baguette

Instructions

  1. Shred the Chicken: Use two forks or your hands to shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces, ensuring the chicken is evenly shredded for easy mixing and eating.
  2. Prepare the Celery: Dice the celery into 1/4-inch pieces to add a fresh and crunchy texture to the dip.
  3. Mix Creamy Base: In a large mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese and mayonnaise together until smooth and creamy, providing the rich base for the dip.
  4. Add Seasonings: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to season the creamy mixture and create a balanced flavor profile.
  5. Combine Chicken and Celery: Fold the shredded chicken and diced celery gently into the creamy mixture, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dip.
  6. Incorporate Hot Wing Sauce: Pour in the hot wing sauce and mix thoroughly until the dip is uniformly coated, adjusting the amount based on your preferred spice level.
  7. Adjust Seasonings: Taste the dip and tweak the seasoning as necessary to achieve the desired flavor balance.
  8. Chill Before Serving: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  9. Serve: Present the dip chilled alongside an assortment of tortilla chips, crackers, fresh veggies, pita chips, and sliced baguette for a crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Notes

  • You can substitute hot wing sauce with your favorite buffalo sauce to vary heat levels.
  • Letting the dip chill for longer than 30 minutes enhances flavors and texture.
  • For a milder version, reduce or omit the hot wing sauce.
  • This dip is perfect for parties, game days, or casual get-togethers.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
