Tips
For a smoother dip, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
If you don't have rotisserie chicken, you can boil or bake chicken breasts until cooked through, then shred.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred level of spiciness.
This dip can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
