Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and added flavor; you can also cook and shred your own chicken breasts.
- Frank’s Hot Sauce is recommended for its classic buffalo flavor, but you can substitute with your preferred hot sauce.
- For a milder dip, reduce the amount of hot sauce.
- This dip can be prepared in advance and baked just before serving.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave.
