More Buffalo Chicken Goodness!
What is Buffalo Chicken?
Let’s get one thing cleared up once and for all—Buffalo chicken refers to Buffalo, New York, not buffalo the animal. Like so many other American classics, there are quite a few origin stories for Buffalo wings. Usually a little spicy, Buffalo wings are deep-fried without batter, then tossed in a sauce (classically based on Frank’s RedHot sauce and butter) and served with creamy blue cheese dressing and celery sticks for dipping and cooling off all that heat. This Buffalo chicken bites recipe is our favorite way to serve a riff on them at home, sans mess. You’ll definitely want to serve them alongside some of our other Super Bowl favorites come game day.
Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Bites
Chicken breasts
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
Salted butter
Buffalo sauce, such as Frank’s Red Hot
Garlic powder & Onion powder
Serve with celery sticks and Blue Cheese Dressing

Ultra-easy chicken breast recipes are a thing of beauty—great for people trying to follow a low-carb diet (including keto and Whole30), but delicious enough to make the whole crowd happy. Our Buffalo chicken bites recipe is simple and quick—no deep-frying mess, and no chicken wing bones to contend with. Buffalo chicken bites are as simple as:
Cook the cubed chicken breast pieces in a little olive oil, in a large skillet or two medium skillets until it’s cooked through and a little crisp on the outside.
Make Buffalo sauce! Just add your Frank’s RedHot Sauce (accept no substitute!), butter and spices to the chicken and stir with a wooden spoon until the Buffalo bites are fully coated in that neon red, tangy hot sauce.
Serve! With plenty of homemade blue cheese dressing, please, plus celery for a little crunchy freshness.
