Buffalo Chicken Dip

This staple dip __ for football watching parties came from Ryan's Aunt Lisa. We've modified it a bit since then to make it easier, and forgot to write down her recipe.

1 1/2 cups shredded chicken (grilled thighs add a bit of extra flavor)
8 oz cream cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
5 oz bottle of Frank's Red Hot sauce (or as much as you can stand)
