What Is Nashville Hot Chicken?

Nashville hot chicken is a type of fried chicken that is coated with a cayenne-based sauce. The chicken is crispy and fiery and altogether delicious! It is one of my favorite ways to eat chicken.

While I may not be able to indulge my Nashville Hot Chicken craving with actual chicken, I CAN enjoy the flavor in kettle chips, specifically Kroger’s Nashville Hot Chicken Kettle Chips!

What Do I Need To Make This Chicken Dip?

• Cream cheese
• Plain Greek yogurt
• Ranch seasoning
• Dash of hot sauce (or to taste)
• Shredded chicken
• Shredded Italian blend cheese
• Panko breadcrumbs
• Kroger Nashville Hot Chicken Potato Chip crumbs
• Butter
• Chopped dill pickles

How To Make Chicken Dip

This chicken dip is hot, creamy, and cheesy and can be as spicy as you like it to be!

STEP ONE – Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Spray an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.

STEP TWO – In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, yogurt, ranch seasoning, and hot sauce. Stir in chicken cheese. Place cheese mixture in the prepared baking dish,

STEP THREE – In a bowl, combine the chip crumbs and the bread crumbs. Drizzle with melted butter and stir to combine. Sprinkle crumb mixture over the cheese, Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and topping is golden brown.

Chicken Dip Tips and Substitutions

I LOVE using rotisserie chicken anytime a recipe calls for shredded chicken. However, two cans of chicken can easily be substituted.

I used reduced fat Kroger brand cream cheese, you can play around with this and even use cream cheese made with Greek yogurt and while we are talking about yogurt, sour cream can replace the yogurt called for in this recipe.

For the cheese, I used an Italian blend shredded cheese. Mozzarella is just fine on its own.

I added just a few drops of hot sauce to my cheese mixture, but feel free to play around with this. Adjust the heat to your tastes.

Finally, you can certainly use all potato chips for the topping! They stay crunchy and add incredible flavor! If you cannot find Nashville Hot Chicken Chips, BBQ, Mesquite, Jalapeno, or any of your favorite flavors can be used!

What To Serve With This Hot Chicken Dip?

This creamy dip needs something sturdy enough to scoop it up! I love a sturdy cracker like Triskets or Wheat Thins, but pretzels, bagel chips, bread rounds, pita chips or scoop style corn or tortilla chips will work as well!

I also wouldnt judge you if you just used a spoon!
