# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Its the kind of dip that makes people hover around the serving dish and politely fight over the last scoop
  • The combination of creamy tangy and spicy creates that addictive flavor everyone keeps coming back to
02 -
  • Do not try to speed up softening the cream cheese in the microwave it will separate and ruin your texture
  • The dip continues thickening as it cools slightly so serve it while still hot but not molten
03 -
  • Use a fork to shred your chicken instead of a knife so it absorbs more of the creamy sauce
  • Let the dish sit for those few minutes after baking or it will be too loose and runny
