Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 175 °C / 350 °F and line up eight ramekins and a scale.
  2. In a large bowl, stir the cream cheese, 1 cup of the cheddar, hot sauce, ranch, mayonnaise, chopped celery and black pepper until smooth and uniform.
  3. Fold in the shredded chicken. Scrape into a 2-quart baking dish and smooth the top.
  4. Bake until bubbling at the edges, about 30 minutes. Take the dish out and let it settle for 5 minutes so it stops simmering.
  5. While it bakes, brown the infused butter: swirl it in a small pale-bottomed pan over medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes, until the solids are golden and it smells like toasted nuts. Stay well under 175 °C / 350 °F and pull it off as soon as it turns, solids and all.
  6. Off the heat, pour the browned infused butter over the rested dip and stir the whole dish thoroughly — at least 30 seconds, scraping the corners — until there are no glossy streaks. The dose is only even if the batch is.
  7. Drop the oven to 160 °C / 325 °F. Weigh the dip evenly into the eight ramekins, about 170 g each, scraping the dish clean and topping up any light one. Scatter the remaining ½ cup cheddar over the tops.
  8. Return the ramekins to the 160 °C / 325 °F oven for 4–5 minutes, just until the cheese lids melt. Finish with a thread of hot sauce and ranch and the sliced scallions.
  9. Cool, lid and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat one ramekin in 30-second microwave bursts or in a low oven, always under 175 °C / 350 °F.
  10. Label each lid: Buffalo Chicken Ramekins · 40 mg THC total · 5 mg per ramekin · 8 ramekins · made [date] · 21+ only.
