Pintys Buffalo Chicken Flings Recipes

BONELESS BUFFALO CHICKEN BITES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine flour, seasoned salt, cumin, cornstarch, pepper, paprika, chili powder, and salt. In another bowl combine milk, water, and 1 egg, whisk together.
• Cut chicken tenders into bite-sized pieces.
• Prepare hot sauce by melting the butter and the hot sauce together over low heat in a pot. Stir to combine as butter melts. Remove from heat once the butter has melted and sauce is thoroughly combined.
• Dredge chicken pieces in flour mixture, dip into milk and egg mixture and then dredge the chicken again in the seasoned flour. Shake off excess flour.
• Deep fry coated chicken bites in hot canola oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
• Place chicken bites in a large bowl. Pour hot sauce over chicken bites and toss to coat.
• Serve boneless chicken bites with blue cheese or ranch dressing and celery sticks.

CRISPY BAKED BUFFALO CHICKEN FINGERS

Steps:

• If using chicken breasts, pound down and cut into strips.
• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
• Place the corn flakes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika into a food processor (you can do this in stages if the processor isn't large enough). Pulse 4-5 times until the cereal is broken down. Not completely crushed; some larger pieces can remain. Pour into a large bowl. Place the flour into a separate bowl. Then in a third bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together.
• Coat each chicken strip in flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip in egg mixture and let any excess drip off. Then generously roll in the corn flakes, shaking off any excess. Place the chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Turn each piece over and continue baking until the outside is crisp and the centers are cooked through, about more 10 minutes. Baking times may vary, just make sure the chicken is cooked through by cutting into a thick piece. If you like them browner, bake a couple minutes longer. Careful, you don't want to dry out the chicken inside.
• Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet (we usually make the blue cheese sauce during this time), then carefully place the chicken fingers into a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce on top and gently stir to coat. Taste and add more sauce if desired. Serve warm with blue cheese dipping sauce.
• Stir sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and serve.
• Leftover chicken fingers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat in the microwave or for 10-12 minutes in a 350°F (177°C) oven.

AIR FRYER BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS FROM FROZEN

• Flip wings one more time and cook until crispy, about 6 more minutes.
• Transfer wings to a large bowl and pour warmed Buffalo wing sauce over the top. Toss and serve immediately.
