Buffalo Chicken Bites

Recipe View Gather all ingredients and prepare your workstation. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Dip each chicken piece into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off. Then, transfer the chicken to the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (15-20 minutes)

Recipe View While the chicken is frying, combine the hot sauce, minced garlic, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the butter is melted and the sauce is warm. Stir to combine. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Serve the Buffalo chicken bites immediately with the warm hot sauce mixture as a dipping sauce. Alternatively, you can toss the fried chicken bites in the sauce for a more intense flavor. (2 minutes)
