Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing HVR Chicken Recipe This stuff is delish! The hardest part to shredding the chicken, and I found a great tool on Amazon that makes it a breeze. Everyone that has tasted this HVR Crack Chicken has fell in love and asked for the recipe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from More versatile than you might think I've made this twice, and love it even more! Serve it over rice for a traditional family meal or spoon it into soft tortillas, top with salsa, lettuce, cheese, and sour cream. Great way to feed a crowd.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfet party food I have made this a couple times & it always gets eaten up until the last drop. Buffalo chicken dip has always been one of my favorite party staples. This recipe is super simple but the taste is amazing! You can make sandwiches or create a dip but chopping the chicken more. Either way is scrumptious.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Minimal Ingredients, Maximum TASTE I've made this several times and it never disappoints. We like it heavy on the hot sauce and eat it in lettuce wraps with avocado. Amazing!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Family Classic So easy to make and so delicious. The cook time is perfect, but I do like to add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper and put in some diced up jalapeños for a little extra flavor, as well as a smidge of cabbage for some texture and crunch.
