Need a flavor-packed dip to really amp up the Super Bowl party? This Nashville hot chicken dip brings the heat and MORE. Beware—this party dip is for major spice fans only. A cream cheese, mayo, and sour cream base meets hot sauce and breaded chicken for a spicy, creamy dip that is also perfectly filling. If you need to get your crew fired up on game day—this is the dip to do it.
If you love the flavor but want less of the heat, start small with the cayenne—we'd say 1 to 2 teaspoons to be safe. (You can always top with a sprinkle of cayenne or a dash of hot sauce if you're missing the spice.) You can make your chicken from scratch, but we love to use store-bought for ease. Use your favorite frozen breaded chicken, or consult our list of favorite frozen chicken products for inspo.
Wanna make the real thing? We've got a Nashville hot chicken recipe that will knock your socks off.

- 1/3 cup
sour cream
- 2
green onions, thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
- 2 Tbsp.
hot sauce (such as Cholula)
- 1 Tbsp.

Directions
- Step 1Make dip: Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, 1¾ cup mozzarella, mayo, sour cream, green onions, hot sauce, cayenne, brown sugar, paprika, and garlic powder. Season with salt. Gently fold in almost all of the cooked chicken, reserving about 1/4 cup for topping. Fold until just combined.
- Step 2Transfer dip to a medium baking dish or skillet and top with remaining cheese. Add the rest of the chicken to the center of the dip and bake until bubbly and slightly golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Step 3Meanwhile, make toasts: Brush each slice of bread on one side with melted butter and season with salt. Cut each slice of bread into quarters diagonally and place on a medium baking sheet. Bake until slightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
- Step 4When dip is ready, garnish with green onions and pickles and serve with prepared toasts.
