Feta is often less expensive and offers a tangy flavor.

In a large non-reactive mixing bowl, add 2 cups of shredded chicken.

Add 1/2 cup of Frank's Red Hot or Frank's buffalo hot sauce to the bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of ranch dressing to the mixture.

Add 1 block of cream cheese (softened) to the bowl.

Optional: Add some cracked pepper to taste.

Mix all the ingredients together using a spatula or your favorite mixing tool until well combined.

Transfer the mixture into a cast iron pan or a tin foil pan.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the dip.

Cook the dip in a smoker or grill set up for indirect cooking at 350°F for about 20 minutes.

Check the dip periodically; it can be pulled earlier or cooked longer based on how melted and smoky you prefer it.

Once done, remove the dip from the smoker and add blue cheese crumbles to the center (optional).

Garnish with chopped green onions for color.

Serve with sturdy chips.
