Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless chicken breast
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup cornstarch
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 2 tbsp hot sauce (for batter)
• 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup hot sauce (for buffalo sauce)
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and 2 tablespoons of hot sauce.

Step 4

Dip each chicken piece into the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off, and then coat it in the flour mixture. Place the coated pieces on a tray and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps the coating adhere better.

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Carefully drop the chicken pieces into the hot oil in small batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry for 4-5 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).

Step 7

Remove the chicken bites with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of hot sauce, honey, and vinegar to create the buffalo sauce. Heat until combined and smooth.

Step 9

Toss the fried chicken bites in the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.

Step 10

Serve the Boneless Buffalo Bites immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side, if desired.
