Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350℉. Skip this step if you're making the dip ahead.
Add your first round of ingredients to the food processor - everything but the chicken and hot sauce.
Blend on high for 5 minutes until smooth, scraping down the sides halfway through.
Dump the mixture into a bowl and add the hot sauce and chicken.
Mix together until well combined. Give it a taste and add more hot sauce if wanting it spicier.
Transfer your dip to an oven safe dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until hot inside. Read the meal prep & storage section of this post, if making ahead for a party or the freezer.
Remove from oven and stir thoroughly until one cohesive colour and texture.
Serve warm, room temperature or cold with chips and veggies. Celery is EXCEPTIONAL with this dip and cuts through the spiciness.
Any leftover baked dip can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. Unbaked dip can be stored for up to 3 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
