Equipment

Tabasco Original Red Pepper Sauce for the perfect spice in this dish.
Frank's RedHot Hot Sauce to get the distinguishing buffalo chicken flavor.
Crystal Hot Sauce for a zestier Cajun spice.

Ingredients

2 8-ounce packages cream cheese
2 12.5-ounce cans chicken breast drained
1½ cups cheddar cheese shredded
¼ cup Tabasco Red Pepper Sauce
½ cup Frank's RedHot Original Hot Sauce

Optional Garnishes

Sliced green onions
Chopped fresh parsley
Crumbled blue cheese
Additional shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Place the cream cheese in a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave on high for approximately 20 to 30 seconds or until softened.
Add the drained canned chicken and use a fork to break it into smaller pieces.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, Tabasco Red Pepper Sauce, and Frank's RedHot Hot Sauce. Stir until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Cover the bowl loosely with a microwave-safe splatter cover.
Microwave on high for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, stirring every 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the dip is bubbling hot throughout. Continue heating in short intervals, as necessary, until the center reaches 165°F.
Stir until smooth and transfer to a serving bowl.
Garnish with sliced green onions, chopped parsley, or crumbled blue cheese, if desired.
Serve warm with celery sticks, tortilla chips, crackers, or pretzel flats.
