Step 1

Preheat the broiler. Heat 3 cups (1 lb.) coarsely shredded chicken, ¾ cup hot sauce, 1 tsp. onion powder, 1 tsp. garlic powder, and 8 oz. cubed cream cheese in medium, broiler-safe skillet until the cream cheese is mostly melted; remove from heat. Stir in 8 oz. sour cream, finely grated zest of 1 large lemon, and ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (it’s okay if the cheese doesn’t melt fully). Smooth the surface of the dip. Top with ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 3 oz. roughly crumbled blue cheese. Broil dip until golden brown in spots. (The cook time here really depends on your broiler, so keep a close eye.) Top with thinly sliced scallion greens and the pickled celery.

Step 2

Psst If you’d like to serve the dip cold (you do you), simply combine the chicken, hot sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, softened cream cheese, sour cream, lemon zest, and all the cheddar in a large bowl. Stir until combined, then eat right away or pop in the fridge. Before digging in, top with the blue cheese, pickled celery, and sliced scallion.
