Description

Delicious baked buffalo chicken fingers with a crispy coating, perfect for game day or weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into strips
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (use panko for extra crunch)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray (for baking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the chicken by slicing the chicken breasts into strips.
  3. Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bread a chicken strip by coating it in flour, dipping it in beaten eggs, and rolling it in the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Repeat the process for all chicken strips until fully coated.
  6. Spray the tops of the coated chicken fingers with cooking spray.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
  8. Toss the baked chicken fingers in buffalo sauce in a large bowl.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs. Pair with celery, carrot sticks, or your favorite dipping sauces.
