    How to Make Spicy Buffalo Chicken Cheese Dip

    1. Prep and Cook

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. In an 8-inch ovenproof skillet, such as cast iron, heat butter over medium-high. Add the shredded chicken and Buffalo sauce to the skillet, simmering until the sauce has thickened and reduced by half, approximately 2-3 minutes.

    2. Combine and Bake

    Turn off the heat. Incorporate lemon juice, sour cream, and cream cheese into the chicken mixture until well combined. Evenly sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture. Bake the dip for 10 minutes or until you see a bubbly edge and melted cheese. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes for a golden-brown top.

    3. Garnish and Serve

    Immediately top with blue cheese and chives. Serve warm with your choice of dippers.

    Variations

    BBQ Pulled Pork Cheese Dip

    Use pulled pork and BBQ sauce with a cheddar cheese blend, adding a touch of smoked paprika for extra smokiness.

    Protein Swap

    Replace chicken with pulled pork, shredded beef, or crumbled tofu for a vegetarian option. Even flaked cooked fish or canned crab can work for a seafood twist.

    Mexican

    Introduce taco seasoning, replace buffalo sauce with a mix of salsa and jalapeños, and top with queso fresco and avocado.

    Curried Veggie Cheese Dip

    Mix in sautéed vegetables and curry paste with paneer or a mix of cheddar and cream cheese, and use yogurt as the creamy base.

    Cheese Swap

    Experiment with different cheese combinations such as blue cheese for a more authentic buffalo experience, smoked gouda for a smoky flavor, or pepper jack to add extra spice.
