Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Add the Meats: Gently fold in the shredded chicken and crab meat until they are evenly distributed throughout the cheese mixture.
