I have made this recipe many times and it is always a hit and requested again and again. I have modified the recipe from the original slightly...I use frozen buffalo chicken tenders and chop them into small pieces. It adds flavor and makes the dip heartier. I found that canned chicken tasted canned. Overall, super duper recipe!! Also, dip with tortilla chips or celery.
