Hot Sauce in Buffalo Chicken Bites:
We are huge fans of Frank’s hot sauce, but you can really use any hot sauce you prefer.
Baking Instructions:
We know so many of you love to bake rather than fry. If you would rather bake your chicken bites, you can find full instructions here.
Air Fryer Instructions:
Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray air fryer tray with cooking oil and place breaded chicken inside. Spray the chicken with oil once inside and air fry until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees and is golden brown and crispy on the outside, approximately 5-6 minutes.
Gluten Free Options:
If you want to make your buffalo chicken bites gluten free, you will need to substitute the all-purpose flour with a cup for cup gluten free flour blend. Additionally, you will need to use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Blue Cheese vs. Ranch:
It seems like everyone has picked a side. Either you are a blue cheese fan or a ranch fan. While you certainly can use either in this recipe, you will find us with a large amount of blue cheese on our table.
Spice Level:
These chicken bites are comfortably warm. The hot sauce adds amazing flavor without too much heat. If you want to kick that spice up a notch, feel free to dunk your nuggets in some extra Frank’s red hot. If you like this recipe, you may be interested in these other delicious small bite recipes:
