Best Buffalo Chicken Bites With Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce Recipes

BUFFALO CHICKEN BITES

Steps:

• Combine dressing ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Place the buttermilk, salt, and chicken in a large Ziploc bag. Refrigerate for1- 2 hours.
• In a small saucepan add the hot sauce, water, sugar, butter, and 3 teaspoons of cornstarch. Whisk over medium heat until thickened. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy.
• In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, 1 ½ cups of cornstarch, and 1/3 cup of the hot sauce mixture (from the saucepan). Mix until combined and it resembles cornmeal.
• Remove chicken from the buttermilk marinate and lightly pat dry with a paper towel.
• Toss a third of the chicken in the egg white mixture, making sure the chicken has been covered. Then transfer to the flour mixture and dredge the chicken until all of the pieces are coated (press to adhere the flour). Transfer the coated chicken to a plate. Repeat until all of the chicken has been dunked in the egg whites and dredged in the flour mixture.
• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. The oil should register 350°F. (I use my instant read thermometer to check the temperature). Cook half the chicken at a time. Cook for 2 minutes, flip them over, and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
• Transfer fried chicken to a towel lined plate. Repeat frying for the second half of chicken. *Note, make sure the oil returns to the 350°F temp before adding the chicken to it!
• At this point, you'll need to rewarm the hot sauce. Simply place it over low heat until it starts to simmer. Place the now fried chicken in a large bowl, pour the hot sauce overtop and toss the chicken until all of the pieces are coated in the sauce. Serve immediately with the homemade bleu cheese dressing.

Steps:

• Trim chicken of any fat. Cut into 1-inch, nugget sized pieces.
• In a small bowl, add hot sauce and egg. Whisk to combine. Place all the chicken pieces into the egg/hot sauce mixture and stir to make sure all is coated. This may be refrigerated for up to 24 hours in advance to make the flavoring more intense if desired.
• In a separate bowl mix together the flour, bread crumbs, Italian seasonings, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and cayenne.
• Take the chicken pieces out of the hot sauce and egg mixture. Roll chicken pieces in breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
• Heat about 2 inches of cooking oil over medium-high heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Working in small batches, place the coated chicken into the oil and fry them for 3-5 minutes, or until they are more golden in color, with an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove from oil and set on a paper towel lined baking sheet or plate.
• Once cooled a bit, enjoy!
