Ingredients

Scale

To make your Buffalo Chicken Bites, gather the following ingredients:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for dipping)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:

  1. Cut the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces (about 1-2 inches).
  2. Season the Flour: In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Dip in Egg: In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
  4. Coat in Breadcrumbs: Place the panko breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl. Dredge each piece of chicken first in the seasoned flour, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally coat in the panko breadcrumbs.

Cook the Chicken:

  1. Heat the Oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Fry the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken pieces in batches. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Toss in Buffalo Sauce:

  1. Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the buffalo sauce and stir to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Coat the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, toss the crispy chicken bites in the buffalo sauce until they are evenly coated.

Serve:

  1. Serve with Dipping Sauce: Serve the buffalo chicken bites immediately with your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
