Description
Creamy Nashville Hot Chicken Dip with popcorn chicken, honey, hot sauce, and pickles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- ¼ cup hot sauce
- 2 cups chopped popcorn chicken (cooked and divided)
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 tablespoons hot sauce
- ½ cup pickle slices (for topping)
- ⅓ cup green onions (for topping)
Instructions
- Cook the popcorn chicken according to package directions. Let it cool and then chop it into small pieces.
- Add the cream cheese and buttermilk to a large microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for 1 minute. Carefully beat using a hand mixer until completely smooth. If it’s still too thick, microwave for 30 seconds, then beat again.
- Add one tablespoon of honey, one tablespoon of garlic powder, two teaspoons of cayenne, and ¼ cup of hot sauce. Beat again until thoroughly mixed. Add in 1 cup of the chopped popcorn chicken and stir.
- In a small bowl, add the remaining cayenne, honey, and hot sauce. Stir to make a sauce. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl (or leave it in the bowl you made it in), and add the remaining cup of chopped popcorn chicken on top in the middle. Drizzle the sauce all around. Add pickle slices and scallions. Serve with your favorite crackers, chips, and more.
