Instructions to make Smoked Buffalo Chicken Dip:
- First, we season and smoke the cream cheese. Preheat smoker to 225°F and take cream cheese out of its package. Coat each side of the cream cheese with your favorite BBQ Seasoning and set on a pan for smoking.
- Cut a diamond pattern in the top of the cream cheese and smoke for 2 hours.
- While that smokes, finely chop your Celery, Dill, Parsley and Green Onion. Also shred your Monterey Jack Cheese.
- Set your cheese and celery aside in the fridge until you're ready to assemble the dip. Next, we prepare and refrigerate our homemade ranch sauce.
- Mix your buttermilk, sour cream, mayo, lemon juice, dill, parsley, green onion, kosher salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly, cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge.
- When the cream cheese is close to done, spatchcock your chicken. Cut out the spine and then crack the chest bone by pushing down on the breast (see YouTube videos on how to do this). This will flatten your chicken and allow it to cook quicker and more evenly.
- Pat your chicken dry with paper towel, then brush on your Mayo to coat.
- Pull out your cream cheese and up the smoker temperature to 375°F. Mix your cumin, smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, dry mustard, chili powder, kosher salt and black pepper in a bowl. Season all sides of your chicken with the spice mix.
- Place chicken on a rack and then move it onto the smoker. Smoke for about 1 hour and until the breast reads an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Just before removing chicken, season a large cast iron skillet with a bit of oil to prevent the mix from sticking.
- Remove chicken from smoker and carve into it's respective pieces. Then shred those into bite-sized pieces.
- Add your shredded chicken to a large bowl, then add 1/2 cup of homemade ranch sauce and 3/4 cup of buffalo sauce. Mix all together, then add chopped celery and shredded monterey jack. Mix again and transfer mixture to your oiled cast iron pan.
- Sprinkle some extra shredded monterey jack cheese on top and place back on the smoker. Smoke for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starting to form golden brown peaks.
- Pull from the smoker and spread some chopped celery leaves for garnish. Serve immediately with Tortilla Chips.
