😉Hacks and hints
- I make the chicken used in this dip in my slow cooker. The instructions for that are included below. However, the laziest way to handle this recipe would be to buy pre-made chicken strips
- To ensure even flavor in every bite for a smoother texture, process chicken until it is the consistency of wet sand in a food processor or Nutribullet or personal sized blender (this is optional, you can use chicken is chunks or shreds if you like)
- I heat and serve the actual dip in a Crockpot Lil Dipper. However, it would work just as well in a small crockpot on low or warm.
- If you are a fan of uber spicy, feel free to add more buffalo sauce.
- I use slow cooker liners to cook the chicken for this recipe. This is always an optional step. I, however, use then so often that I buy them in bulk (making them less expensive per piece).

Notes
- Break chicken apart well before cooking. Chicken meat that is left in clumps will cook as clumps, resulting in a chunkier finished product.
- For the easiest cleanup, be sure to coat the slow cooker well with oil or non-stick cooking spray.
- To confirm that the ground chicken is fully cooked, insert a meat thermometer into the centermost point of the dip. Once it reaches 165℉, the chicken is considered safe to eat.
