Buffalo Chicken Bites w/ Blue Cheese Sauce

Buffalo Chicken Bites w/ Blue Cheese Sauce

Rather than the Buffalo chicken wings, we prefer chicken bites. Great as a snack, or as part of a larger meal, these fiery little devils are both healthier than wing, and easier to make.

Ingredients

  • Olive oil
  • Cubed boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • Buffalo sauce (Franks Red Hot Sauce, preferably)
  • Butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Celery
  • Blue cheese dressing

Technique

Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Add the cubed chicken breast and cook. When chicken is near complete add the butter, Buffalo sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder and coat all the chicken with the sauce. Serve with the blue cheese dressing as a dip, and celery sticks.
