Buffalo Chicken Bites step by step
- Prepare Chicken thighs: You have 2 options. Option 1. Put chicken thighs and half the bottle of Frank's in a crockpot, set on low for 8 hours. Shred when done. Or 2. Cook chicken thighs in a skillet with a little oil, shred and add Frank's hot sauce when done..
- Add the onion, bell pepper, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper to the chicken. Set aside..
- Cook white rice according to package directions. I'm lazy and use minute rice. Throw that rice in the bowl with the other stuff. Give it a stir..
- Add the rest of the hot sauce to the bowl, stir well..
- Time to prepare the dough! Put the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Give it a stir..
- Add the warm water and grapeseed oil to the bowl. Stir until combined. Add more flour if it's too sticky, more water if it's too dry..
- Roll out that dough on a floured surface until it's thin, but not too thin..
- Cut the dough into 3x3 squares, or cut it however big you want. Bigger squares mean bigger bites. You should preheat the oven to 375 now..
- Add enough chicken filling to the dough square to fill it, but still be able to wrap it up into a happy little pocket of awesomeness. About 2 TBSP per 3x3 square..
- Keep on filling and wrapping. Set them on a pan covered with a sil pat, parchment paper, or lightly greased with oil..
- Make an egg wash: take 1 egg and keep just the whites. Give it a quick whisk..
- Apply a thin layer of egg white using a pastry brush to each pocket/bite. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper..
- Bake in the oven at 375 for 20-25 minutes or until browned..
- You're done! Serve them bad boys with ranch or bleu cheese dressing and some celery..
Like my other bites recipes, these buffalo chicken bites combine a primary protein—in this case ground chicken—with eggs and breadcrumbs to make crispy mini muffins. Serve the buffalo chicken bites with the dipping sauce while they're warm out of the oven. These bites are the perfect game day food. They've got the buffalo sauce vibe everyone loves while. These Boneless Buffalo Chicken Bites are deliciously spicy with the kick of buffalo flavor you love and, at the same time, are perfect for weight loss.
