Notes

  • This recipe uses rotisserie chicken, however, you may use any chicken you have.
  • Simply cook it and shred it. You’ll need about 2 lbs of meat.
  • To make this vegetarian, use the Quorn vegetarian chicken pieces. Ya’ll, they are really super good.
  • It’s fine to substitute the lower fat cream cheese or neufchatel instead of cream cheese.
  • Use any type of hot sauce you prefer, but for a classic buffalo chicken flavor, you’ll want to use Franks Classic Hot Wing Sauce.
  • Substituting the jarred minced garlic for fresh is fine as well.
  • Although we prefer the thick bacon at our house for eating, I find that the inexpensive thin sliced bacon works best for this recipe in regards to texture and crispiness.
  • Garnish with chopped tomato, onion, cilantro or extra bacon.
