Notes
For added flavor, use rotisserie chicken instead of plain cooked chicken. Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce according to your heat preference; you can even mix in some blue cheese dressing for extra richness. This dip can also be prepared in advance; simply mix and store it in the refrigerator, then heat it in the slow cooker when you’re ready to serve. Keep the dip warm in your slow cooker on the 'warm' setting for extended snacking during parties.
