Ingredients  

  • 4 cups chopped or shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 2/3 cup diced celery 
  • 1/4 cup sliced scallions
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup Frank’s hot sauce, or more to taste 
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder 

Instructions 

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, celery and scallions. 
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, hot sauce and garlic powder. Add the mayonnaise mixture to the bowl with the chicken and stir until thoroughly combined then serve. 

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days.
  • To Make the Cheese Cups
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Finely shred cheddar cheese.
    • Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese into 5-inch circles on the baking sheet, spacing the circles at least 2 inches apart.
    • Bake until the edges of the cheese just start to brown, about 5 minutes.
    • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cheese cool for 2 minutes before transferring each circle onto an inverted muffin pan to shape. Let cool completely on the muffin pan until the cheese has hardened.
    • Note: Do not let the cheese cool completely on the baking sheet before trying to shape it or it won’t be pliable enough to bend!
