# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It practically makes itself while you're busy doing anything else, and stays warm and ready for hours.
  • The creamy, spicy, cheesy flavor hits that perfect balance where no one can stop reaching back for more.
  • You can make it with a rotisserie chicken from the store and skip half the work entirely.
  • It's one of those recipes that makes you look like you tried harder than you did.
02 -
  • If your cream cheese isn't softened, it'll take forever to melt and you'll end up with lumps floating around, so let it sit out for at least 30 minutes.
  • Stirring halfway through isn't optional, I learned that the hard way when the bottom got crusty and the top stayed cold.
  • Don't crank it to high to speed things up, the dip can break and get greasy instead of creamy.
03 -
  • Use rotisserie chicken and you'll have this ready in less than 15 minutes of actual work.
  • If you want it extra creamy, stir in a couple tablespoons of milk or cream at the end.
  • For a little texture, fold in some diced celery or jalapeños just before serving.
