Ranch or Bleu Cheese Dressing for serving and extra dipping
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine the ground chicken with the ½ tsp salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Mix well.
Form the seasoned ground chicken into chicken nugget-form. I scoop some out with a tablespoon measuring spoon so they come out the same size, and they have the same cooking time.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, pinches of salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
Coat each chicken nugget with the breadcrumb mixture. (The ground chicken is sticky enough on it’s own to not need any extra egg or flour.)
Place on a oven safe baking rack on a baking sheet. Bake on 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Cooking times may vary. Allow the chicken bites to cool long enough to handle them safely.
Pour the buffalo sauce into a shallow bowl.
Using tongs, dip each chicken nugget into the buffalo sauce to coat.
Serve the Buffalo Chicken Bites with celery and ranch dressing (or bleu cheese dressing) on the side!
