Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (Frank’s RedHot Original recommended)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (divided: 3/4 cup in dip, 1/4 cup for topping)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For serving: celery sticks, carrot sticks, tortilla chips, or crackers
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions or fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. Shred the chicken: If using rotisserie chicken, remove skin and bones, then shred with two forks or your hands. You should have about 2 cups. If cold, warm slightly in microwave for 30 seconds.
  3. Mix the base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, buffalo wing sauce, 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, mozzarella, blue cheese (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Stir until evenly combined. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  4. Transfer to the baking dish: Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared dish. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup cheddar cheese over the surface.
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until hot and bubbling around the edges and the cheese on top is melted and lightly browned. For a deeper golden top, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
  6. Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions or chives if desired.
  7. Serve warm with celery sticks, carrot sticks, tortilla chips, or crackers.

Notes

For best texture, use full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt (avoid non-fat). Drain any excess liquid from yogurt if using a thinner brand. Pat chicken dry if moist. Let yogurt and cheese come to room temperature before mixing. Dip can be assembled (without top cheese) up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated; add top cheese and bake for an extra 5 minutes. For a dairy-free version, use thick plant-based yogurt and dairy-free cheese. For a milder dip, use 1/3 cup buffalo sauce and add a tablespoon of melted butter. For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
