Notes

  • Make ahead by combining ingredients in the Crock Pot insert and refrigerating up to 2 days in advance. Cook 30 minutes longer if chilled.
  • Use rotisserie chicken instead of canned if desired.
  • Adjust spice by adding red pepper flakes or extra buffalo sauce.
  • Store leftovers in glass containers to avoid staining.
  • Reheat in microwave or slow cooker until warm.
