Buffalo Chicken Bites
Everything you love about Buffalo wings without the bones + the mess.
These little tasty beauties are spicy and zesty — the perfect finger food.
+ Since they aren’t deep fried they are a healthier option.
Why Make Buffalo Chicken Bites or Boneless Wings Instead of Regular ‘ol Chicken Wings:
- It’s healthier. No skin and no deep-frying! Tossing the chicken in a tiny bit of corn starch makes the chicken deliciously crispy without skin. That means less saturated fat.
- Skip the deep-frying. Using just a touch of a healthier oil like sunflower | coconut oil reduces fat while still yield creating crispy buffalo chicken bites.
- No bones. Using chicken breast pieces makes Buffalo chicken bites way easier to eat than the traditional Buffalo wings.
- Less Mess. No bone to deal with, fewer napkins used.
- Delicious Chicken Breasts Instead of Wings. Chicken breasts are lower in fat and calories. Another bonus!
No bones about it boneless Buffalo chicken bites are a clear winner.
Cheers!
