# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in less time than it takes to preheat the oven twice, using ingredients you probably already have.
  • The creamy, spicy, tangy combination hits every craving at once and keeps people coming back until the dish is empty.
02 -
  • If your cream cheese isn't fully softened, you'll end up with stubborn lumps no amount of stirring will fix.
  • Don't skip the resting time after baking, or the dip will be too runny and messy to scoop properly.
03 -
  • Use rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor and minimum effort, shredding it while it's still slightly warm.
  • Taste the mixture before baking and adjust the buffalo sauce to your heat preference, it's easier to add more than to tone it down later.
