Notes
Chicken: leftover cooked chicken, canned chicken or rotisserie chicken all work great. For canned chicken I prefer Costco's Kirkland brand premium chunk chicken breast.
Make Ahead Instructions: the dip will keep well stored in the fridge for 1-3 days, depending on the freshness of your chicken. Reheat on the stove, or in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds.
Spicy level: Choose mild to extra-hot brands of Franks hot buffalo sauce to adjust the heat level.
Crockpot: Add all ingredients to the slow cooker. Mix well and cook on low for 2 hours.
Oven: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and pour mixture into a 8x8 baking dish. Top with shredded cheese, if desired and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.
