Extra Tips for Maximum Flavor
- Use rotisserie chicken. It’s easier, tastier, and saves time.
- Adjust the spice. More hot sauce = more heat, but don’t cry about it later.
- Make it ahead. Prep the dip a day before, then bake when needed.
- Broil for a crispy top. Want that golden, bubbly finish? Broil for 2 minutes at the end.
- Double the recipe. Because leftovers don’t exist with this dip.
