BUFFALO CHICKEN BITES

Steps:

• Whisk flour, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Beat eggs together in a separate bowl. Dip chicken pieces in the egg; transfer chicken to flour mixture and coat completely.
• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Fry coated chicken pieces in the hot oil, working in batches, until no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side; drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Combine hot sauce, garlic, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in the microwave until butter is melted and sauce is warm, about 1 minute. Serve hot sauce mixture as a dipping sauce or pour over buffalo chicken bites.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix cream cheese, hot sauce, ranch dressing, onion, garlic powder, and onion powder together in a bowl; fold in chicken.
• Roll crescent roll dough onto a work surface, pressing dough into a thin layer without tearing. Cut 3-inch pieces out of dough using a biscuit cutter. Spoon about 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture into the center of each dough piece. Pull dough over filling and press into other edge of dough; crimp edges together using a fork.
• Arrange pockets on a baking sheet. Brush each pocket with butter and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

HOMEMADE BUFFALO SAUCE

Steps:

• For the buffalo sauce, quarter the cold stick of butter lengthwise. Make eight cuts across so that the butter is cut into tiny cubes. Transfer to the refrigerator until ready to use. Add Frank's hot sauce, onion powder, Kosher salt, and garlic powder to a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir and allow to come to a simmer.
• Reduce the heat to low. Begin adding in the butter 2-3 cubes at a time, whisking constantly. Once the butter has melted into the sauce, add another 2-3 cubes, and repeat until all of the butter has been incorporated. Do not rush this process.
• Once all of the butter has been added, remove the sauce from the heat and set aside until ready to use. Makes about 1 1/2 cup of sauce.
• Store-Bought Nugget Variation: 16 ounces (about 20) frozen chicken nuggets. Cook the chicken nuggets according to package directions, dip in prepared buffalo sauce and serve right away.
• Serves 4-6.

THE BEST BUFFALO CHICKEN BITES

Steps:

• Trim chicken of any fat. Cut into 1-inch, nugget sized pieces.
• In a small bowl, add hot sauce and egg. Whisk to combine. Place all the chicken pieces into the egg/hot sauce mixture and stir to make sure all is coated. This may be refrigerated for up to 24 hours in advance to make the flavoring more intense if desired.
• In a separate bowl mix together the flour, bread crumbs, Italian seasonings, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and cayenne.
• Take the chicken pieces out of the hot sauce and egg mixture. Roll chicken pieces in breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
• Heat about 2 inches of cooking oil over medium-high heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Working in small batches, place the coated chicken into the oil and fry them for 3-5 minutes, or until they are more golden in color, with an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove from oil and set on a paper towel lined baking sheet or plate.
• Once cooled a bit, enjoy!
