Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Dip made with tender rotisserie chicken, ranch dressing, hot sauce, and loads of gooey cheese, this dip is a crowd-pleaser.

Notes
A couple of tips for this recipe:
- I love to use rotisserie chicken because it makes this recipe super easy to throw together, but you can for sure season some chicken with salt and pepper and cook it then shred it if you prefer.
- This dip honestly isn't that spicy, it just has a kick from the buffalo sauce. If you want it spicier, you can add red pepper flakes or some pinches of chipotle powder!
- You can use regular shredded mozzarella cheese for this recipe, but I ALWAYS use Kraft Creamy Melt Shredded Mozzarella. It's way creamier thanks to the little bit of cream cheese they put in it and it melts beautifully - way better than the others in my opinion. (Not a paid advertisement.)
