Buffalo Chicken Dip

This is the thick, scoopable buffalo dip that earns the spot nearest the television. Shredded cooked chicken gives it structure, cream cheese supplies the base and sharp cheddar keeps the sauce from tasting only hot. Stir once during heating and switch to warm as soon as the center is steaming.
