Notes
For best flavor, use freshly cooked and still slightly warm shredded chicken so it blends more easily with the cream cheese mixture and absorbs the buffalo sauce, and taste the mixture before baking to adjust heat by adding more or less hot sauce to your liking. You can prepare the dip up to a day ahead, cover and refrigerate it, then add 5–10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold, and if you prefer a stronger blue cheese flavor, increase the crumbles or swap some of the sour cream for extra blue cheese dressing. Bake the dip in a shallow dish for more browned, bubbly edges, and stir halfway through baking if you want a more even melt instead of a browned top. If the dip thickens too much as it sits, simply stir in a tablespoon or two of warm milk or cream and reheat gently in the oven or microwave until creamy again.
