Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Microwave-safe Dish

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 2/3 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large Egg or 2 Egg Whites
  • 1/4 cup Milk

Chicken

  • 2 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Cut into small chunks or strips (about 3/4-1 lb. of chicken)

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup Buffalo Wing Sauce I prefer Frank’s
  • 1-2 tablespoons Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Combine the flour, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a small mixing bowl. Whisk the egg(s) and milk together in a small bowl.
  • Place a piece of foil or parchment paper onto a cookie sheet and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dip each piece into the egg mixture, then into the breading blend (double coat if desired). Tip: Use one hand to handle the egg mixture and the other hand for the breading to make it easier.
  • Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet and then spray a light coating of cooking spray over the chicken pieces. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and begins to lightly brown.
  • Turn the heat up to broil and continue to cook the chicken for 1-2 more minutes or until the surface begins to become golden brown and crispy, watching it carefully.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool while you make the sauce.
  • Combine the Buffalo Wing Sauce, butter, and water in a microwave-safe dish. (Or in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.) Cover and microwave on high until the mixture begins to bubble, then remove and stir.
  • Toss chicken and hot sauce mixture in a bowl until all pieces are coated. (Gently tap off any excess flour before tossing with sauce if necessary.)
  • Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

For extra crunch, double coat the chicken pieces in the breading.
