Hooter's Wing Dip

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL YOU DADS OUT THERE!

This is one of my husband's favorite things I make. It's a hot dip, so it's not very good once it gets cold and doesn't really do well with leftovers either. (However, you can always reheat it for a few minutes if you have to transport it somewhere) But if you take it to a gathering, there probably won't be leftovers! :)

1 large can and 1 small can chunk chicken breast in water (If you're better than I am, you can take the time to cook actual chicken breast and shred it)
1 8oz package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 jar Hooter's Hot Wing Sauce (You can usually find this at Walmart, and I think most Hooter's restaurants sell it as well. There has been a time when I couldn't find the Hooter's brand, and I just substituted with another brand. It's still good that way.)
1 8oz package shredded cheddar (You can do sharp or mild)
Celery
Chips or crackers

Drain both cans of chicken and place in a bowl. Break up large chunks.
Add 3/4 to whole jar of sauce. Your preference. Just make sure all the chicken is saturated with the sauce.
Spread cream cheese evenly over the bottom of a baking dish.
Spread dressing over cream cheese.
Spread chicken/hot sauce mixture over dressing.
Top with shredded cheese.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Serve with celery and chips and/or crackers. For the celery, you can serve it in sticks, OR you can chop it into fine pieces and place it on top of the dip once it has slightly cooled. If you're transporting the dip, and plan on chopping the celery and putting it on the dip, don't do it until you get to your location. Otherwise, the celery gets gross and looks unappealing!
