Smoked Buffalo Chicken Dip

GrateEggspectations

By special request, I just prepared this app for a birthday party tomorrow night. 

- Pack of cream cheese – spread on bottom of baking dish
- Layer of shredded chicken (smoked, as I did, if that’s your preference)
- Cup of Frank’s Hot sauce poured over
- Cup of blue cheese dressing (or even straight blue cheese) poured over
- 2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese (or old cheddar, and only one cup at that, as I have done) on top
- Bake at 350F for 25 minutes

The bake won’t happen ‘til tomorrow, hence lack of the money shot.

Looks good next time add a cup of ghost pepper salsa for that extra kick

I get the special request.  Sounds like a great flavour profile.  May have to give it a go.  Thanks.

That looks great- love the presentation. We usually just mix it all together with cheese on top. I like to cut up celery and use the bigger "spoon like" end for dipping. Of course, Fritos scoops are also a must have.

I might get some looks if I start snapping photos of my contribution mid-party. Lol. I’ll see what I can do.

Just pretend you are taking a selfie with it and no one will be the wiser.  Looks delicious.

Only remembered to take a shot about 5 mins after serving.

Gotta say... the one cup cheese was actually much better than the two the recipe calls for, as the chicken was lost in the latter and there were grease pools. 

This ratio was a winner.

Thanks all. It’s very simple and is a real crowd pleaser.

Great love this idea - very similar to the skyline dip that is super popular here in Ohio.  Is that a real cast iron dish? If so how the hell do you season that thing - looks slick as lightning!!

Thanks. Yes, it is cast iron indeed, and slick at that. I’ve tried all sorts of seasoning on my CI and Crisco is by far my favourite. Gives really great results.
