Notes
For best results, use freshly cooked or rotisserie chicken for better texture and flavor, and adjust the hot sauce to your preferred spice level, adding more for extra kick or balancing with more ranch for mildness. You can prepare the dip up to a day in advance, cover, and refrigerate, then bake a few extra minutes until heated through. Serve with sturdy dippers like tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, or sliced baguette so they don’t break in the hot, cheesy dip. If the dip thickens as it cools, stir in a tablespoon or two of warm milk or cream and reheat gently.
