  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the dip is heated through.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat mayonnaise and freshly grated cheddar cheese. Adjust the amount of buffalo wing sauce to your preference for heat. Rotisserie chicken provides juicy, flavorful meat. Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
