The Best Sauce in the World
If there is one thing that everyone on Team Fit Foodie can agree on, it is that Franks Red Hot hot sauce is the SHIZ. Yes, we do know that there are many delicious hot sauces out there in the world.
We also have a tradition between the three of us that when one of us travels, we always bring back a fun hot sauce to share. So far, my favorite hot sauce is the hot sauce that Emily brought back from Hawaii when she was on her honeymoon.
It was from the Kauai Juice Company and was the perfect combination of sweet and savory. It was the Original Hawaiian Chili Pepper Sauce and I cried when I used the very last drop.
There are so many hot sauces that we love, but we always come back to Franks Red Hot as a staple. It is classic, reliable, and affordable. You can get Franks anywhere and it has the perfect spicy and vinegary combination.

We used canned chicken and shredded it before combining everything and throwing it in a casserole dish. Baked in the oven for 20 ish minutes and ate on romaine leaves.. SO GOOD!
★★★★★
How much canned chicken did you use?
We used 1.5 lbs. of raw chicken!
Can you make this in an instant pot? If so, how?
I’ve only ever made it using cream cheese! Greek yogurt sounds so much lighter. I won’t feel any guilt eating the whole thing myself. Can’t wait to try it!
So easy! So good! First time we made this was super bowl Sunday and we were hooked! Great to dip anything in! Even better the next day. I actually enjoyed it cold (I LOVE leftovers) better. The yogurt sauce and franks is dynamite. The next day we turned our dip into a chicken salad sandwich/wrap. YUM!
★★★★★
Could I make this in the oven? If so, how long and at what temp would you recommend?
You can! I would just cook the chicken alone in the oven with some olive oil, salt, and pepper. 375ºF for 25ish minutes. Once the chicken is done you can shred it and mix it with the rest of the ingredients <3
