Notes
You can substitute 2 cups shredded or finely chopped cooked chicken for the canned chicken.To make-ahead, make the dip but do not bake it. Cover the dish and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, take the dip out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking and allow to come to room temperature and then follow the directions above.You can use Buffalo or wing sauce. As you might imagine, this dish is spicy. If you would like to tone down the heat, reduce the amount of Buffalo sauce you add or choose a Buffalo or wing sauce labeled mild.
