Stoney says: start low, go slow — the forest isn't going anywhere. Wait 90 minutes before seconds.
Steps
- Heat the oven to 175 °C / 350 °F and line up eight ramekins and a scale.
- 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.
- Fold in the shredded chicken. Scrape into a 2-quart baking dish and smooth the top.
- Bake until bubbling at the edges, about 30 minutes. Take the dish out and let it settle for 5 minutes so it stops simmering.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Label each lid: Buffalo Chicken Ramekins · 40 mg THC total · 5 mg per ramekin · 8 ramekins · made [date] · 21+ only.
