Buffalo Chicken Bites

Tangy and Tasty Buffalo Chicken Bites, best served as an appetizer for your party along with blue cheese on side.

An easy and a wonderful appetizer for your busy day, straight from the oven in 30 minutes…!!! These Buffalo Chicken Bites taste soooo good that you would crave for more.

We all love buffalo chicken and what more can you ask for if it can be homemade in a short time and taste exactly like the ones from your favourite restaurant. These chicken bites are loaded with the flavours of blue cheese, crunchy panko bread crumbs, and juicy Buffalo sauce. And the best part is that it is baked n healthy!

Appetizers are the best part of any parties, and if you want to wow your guests then this is something you need to try out.

Also for theme based, game day, Super Bowl, or for any occasions where your folks would like to grab something quickly, you can serve these chicken bites on toothpick and avoid all the messy stuff.

I’ve used Franks Red Hot Wings Sauce for this recipe which is commonly available in stores. This recipe is enough to prepare 20 chicken bites. And to complete your dish, serve with celery sticks, sliced carrots and Ranch.

Hope you like it, Enjoy…!!!
