Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1-2 inches in size.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, dip in beaten eggs, then roll in panko breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
- Place coated chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown.
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter and buffalo sauce. Toss baked chicken bites in the sauce until evenly coated.

Notes
For even cooking, ensure chicken pieces are uniform in size. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent steaming.
Adjust spice levels by choosing different buffalo sauces or adding cayenne for extra heat.
