We love spicy! If you love spicy you love buffalo spicy too. Well if you are as obsessed with buffalo hot wings like I am than you are definitely going to want to make this!! My mouth is watering again just thinking about it. (Good thing I still have leftovers.)
This is one of those recipes that I don't measure. I just eyeball everything.
We are going to prep everything first. This makes it SO much easier!
Start out by slicing some red potatoes pretty thin. If you have a slicer use that for quicker more efficient work.
I ended up having to slice some more while I was assembling the casserole. Better than wasting any I suppose. ;)
Let your potatoes sit in a bowl of water so they don't turn brown on you.
Now shred up that rotisserie chicken.
*Side note- I almost ate this thing in the car on the way home. Rotisserie chickens smell and taste so dang good!!!
Discard the skin and bones or freeze them and use them in a homemade chicken stock later. Mmmmm.
But save the drippings in the bottom of the container for a little later.
Now use a box grater to grate up a large (16oz) block of pepper jack cheese. This is so much easier if you stick it into the freezer for about 10 minutes.
(I made my husband do this. He said to make sure and tell you guys he helped!)
Now that all of your prep is done we are going to make a bechemel.
Start out with about 3 tablespoons butter. Melt that in your pan and add about 3 tablespoons flour and whisk around. Let that cook out for about a minute. Add about 2 teaspoons dry mustard. After you combine all that start to slowly add your half and half. (Or whole milk.) About 2 1/2 cups. Whisk until it starts to bubble and thicken and season it.
Now here is the best part! Choose your favorite wing sauce. We absolutely love Franks. Add your desired amount of hot sauce to your bechemel.
Let's just say I used about half of my bottle! :)
Now add your rotisserie chicken juice to your sauce. Yum!!!
Mix that into your sauce. Now heat your oven to 350 degrees.
Start layering your casserole.
Start off with a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of your 9x13 pan.
Now a layer of potatoes.
Now chicken.
Now cheese.
Now back to the beginning. Sauce, potato, chicken and cheese.
On your very top layer do sauce then cheese. You want your cheese on the very top so it can turn bubbly and brown.
Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake another 30-45. Or until cheese starts to brown. Let it rest about 10 minutes before serving. It's so pretty when it's done!
It was hard to take a good picture of it on the plate. But here you go anyway! :)
If you love hot wing or anything spicy then this is a must try recipe! I hope you all enjoy!!
