Notes
For easier shredding, consider using rotisserie chicken; it adds flavor and cuts down on prep time. Feel free to adjust the heat by using mild or hot buffalo sauce. If you enjoy blue cheese, adding crumbled blue cheese will enhance the flavor profile. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for a delicious snack or lunch the next day.
