  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot preferred)

  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • Optional: chopped green onions, blue cheese crumbles

Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker to 250°F.

  • In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and shredded cheddar until well combined.

  • Transfer mixture into a cast iron skillet or foil pan.

  • Place the pan on the smoker, uncovered, and smoke for 45 minutes to 1 hour until hot and bubbly on top.

  • Remove from the smoker and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

  • Serve with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or toasted baguette slices.

Notes

  • Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge up to 2 days before smoking.
  • Leftovers store well for 3–4 days in the fridge or up to 2 months in the freezer.
  • To reheat, warm in the oven at 300°F or microwave in 30-second intervals.
  • Add diced jalapeños for extra heat or more ranch to tone down the spice.
