What is the best chicken for Buffalo chicken dip?

 

You have a few choices in here;

 

• You can get canned chicken ( please don’t make this dip with a canned chicken 🙂 )

• You can boil chicken breast.

 

Verdict;

The winner is a plain rotisserie chicken from your local store. The best option is to pick up a plain one with no other added flavors. Pull the chicken apart, use dark and white meat.
