Calories 313kcal
Ingredients
- 1 jar Hooters Wing Sauce (12 ounces)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup ranch dressing Hidden Valley Ranch is preferred
- 8 to 10 ounces poached chicken breast chopped into small pieces (canned chicken will suffice if poached is unavailable)
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Stir constantly until the dip is heated through.
- Place the dip in a bowl and serve with tortilla chips and celery sticks.
Recipe Tips
- Use a small serving bowl and refill it through the party rather than putting the whole batch out at once. Dip that has sat at room temperature for hours has to be thrown away, and a small bowl means less waste at the end of the night.
- Keep the dip warm in a small slow cooker set on low. It holds for hours that way and stays scoopable, where a bowl on the table stiffens as it cools.
- Pull the pan off the heat the moment the Cheddar disappears. Pushing past that point is what makes a cheese dip weep oil.
- If the dip does break and look greasy, take it off the heat and stir in a spoonful of cold cream cheese. The extra emulsifier usually pulls it back together.
- Taste before serving. Wing sauces vary quite a bit in salt and heat, so you may want a little more sauce or a little more ranch depending on the brand.
