Notes

1. Mayonnaise – Use a whole egg mayonnaise for better flavour. Smoother and less tangy. Hellman’s and S&W are my go-to brands.

2. Buttermilk – Make your own: Mix ⅓ cup full fat normal milk + ½ tsp lemon juice. Set aside for 10 minutes, it will curdle – this is normal. Use per recipe (ie. the curdled mixture and all!).

3. Franks Hot Sauce – The traditional hot sauce used in Buffalo Wings, widely available these days in Australia (condiments aisle in Coles, Woolies, Harris Farm).

4. Chicken – Either buy a cooked rotisserie chicken, or poach your own and shred (poaching is best for juiciest result so it melds well with the creamy dip). You will need 400g / 14oz raw chicken breast to make 300g/3 cups of cooked shredded chicken.

5. Cheese – This recipe works fine with any melting cheese, though I’d suggest not using mozzarella because it doesn’t have as much flavour;

Always shred your own – it melts much better (pre shredded are chunkier and also have anti caking agents which don’t melt well and can make mixtures a bit grainy).

6. Storage – This will keep for 4 to 5 days in the fridge. Just reheat in the microwave to make it molten again, or cover and bake. I haven’t tried freezing – I’m pretty sure it will split.

Leftovers are also sensational used inside sandwiches!
