Notes
- Chicken: I make this easy dip with canned chunk chicken which I always keep in the pantry. Every 10-ounce can of chicken equals 2 small chicken breasts, so you would need 4 small chicken breasts (or 2 large ones), cooked and then shredded with two forks. See my how-to on poaching chicken, which is fast and super simple. You can also use leftover rotisserie chicken.
- Hot sauce: Frank's RedHot Original works best for me, but you may prefer another kind, and that's okay.
- Salad dressing: For real, authentic, traditional Buffalo Chicken Dip, this recipe MUST be made with blue cheese dressing, not ranch. However, if you don't like blue cheese dressing, as I don't, you can use ranch. Just don't tell anyone from Buffalo, NY.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 6 cups of dip, enough for 12 servings, 1/2 cup each.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
