Steps
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat baking sheet with a nonstick spray
- Cut chicken pieces into finger-sized pieces. Recommend marinating in hot sauce for additional flavor.
- In a bag, mix together flour, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. On a plate, mix the bread crumbs with the rest of the garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt.
- Shake the chicken pieces with the seasoned flour. Beat egg whites with 1 tablespoon water, and place egg mixture in a shallow dish or bowl. Dip seasoned chicken in egg mixture, then roll in the seasoned bread crumb mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 8 minutes in the preheated oven. Use tongs to turn pieces over. Bake 8 minutes longer, or until chicken juices run clear.
- In sauce pan, heat additional hot sauce and butter together (ratio of 2:1 hot sauce:butter). Toss cooked chicken in hot sauce mixture.
Note
Marinate chicken pieces in hot sauce for 2+ hours for more buffalo flavor.
