Buffalo Chicken Bites

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 eggs
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
• 1 teaspoon butter

Steps

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Whisk flour, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl. Beat eggs in a separate bowl.
3. Dip chicken pieces in beaten eggs; transfer chicken to flour mixture and coat completely. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
4. Fry coated chicken pieces in hot oil, working in batches, until no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of meat should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
5. Combine hot sauce, garlic, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in the microwave until butter is melted and sauce is warm, about 1 minute.
6. Serve hot sauce mixture as a dipping sauce or pour over chicken bites.
