A creamy, savory dip combining shredded chicken wings with a rich honey BBQ and cheddar cheese base, topped with a crunchy panko-parmesan crust for the perfect game day snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (full-fat, softened)
  • 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (sharp)
  • 1/2 Cup BBQ Sauce (thick, sticky variety)
  • 1/4 Cup Honey
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (optional)
  • 1 Cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
  • 1 Teaspoon Paprika
  • 2 Cups Cooked Chicken Wings (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • Blue Cheese Dressing (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, BBQ sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Cut cooked chicken wings into bite-sized pieces. Toss the chicken pieces into the creamy sauce mixture until well coated.
  4. Pour the chicken and sauce mixture into a 9×9 inch baking dish. Spread evenly to about 1 inch thick.
  5. In a small bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, melted butter, and paprika until crumbs are evenly coated.
  6. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the dip. Press down gently to help it stick.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy and the dip is bubbling around the edges. If topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving warm with blue cheese dressing.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Use Panko breadcrumbs for maximum crunch. If making ahead, assemble and refrigerate, adding 5-10 minutes to baking time. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in oven to restore crispiness.
