Provided by Sally

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 and 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts or tenders
5 cups (140g) corn flakes cereal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup (60ml) milk
1 cup buffalo wing sauce such as Sweet Baby Ray's
optional for serving: celery sticks and blue cheese sauce (recipe below)
1/2 cup (104g) mayonnaise
1/2 cup (120g) sour cream
2 teaspoons milk
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2/3 cup (75g) blue cheese crumbles

Steps:

  • If using chicken breasts, pound down and cut into strips.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • Place the corn flakes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika into a food processor (you can do this in stages if the processor isn't large enough). Pulse 4-5 times until the cereal is broken down. Not completely crushed; some larger pieces can remain. Pour into a large bowl. Place the flour into a separate bowl. Then in a third bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together.
  • Coat each chicken strip in flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip in egg mixture and let any excess drip off. Then generously roll in the corn flakes, shaking off any excess. Place the chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Turn each piece over and continue baking until the outside is crisp and the centers are cooked through, about more 10 minutes. Baking times may vary, just make sure the chicken is cooked through by cutting into a thick piece. If you like them browner, bake a couple minutes longer. Careful, you don't want to dry out the chicken inside.
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet (we usually make the blue cheese sauce during this time), then carefully place the chicken fingers into a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce on top and gently stir to coat. Taste and add more sauce if desired. Serve warm with blue cheese dipping sauce.
  • Stir sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and serve.
  • Leftover chicken fingers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat in the microwave or for 10-12 minutes in a 350°F (177°C) oven.

BUFFALO CHICKEN PRETZELS RECIPE - (5/5)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 soft pretzels
1 cup chicken breast, shredded
1/2 cup celery, diced
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1/4 cup monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the chicken breast, celery, light mayonnaise, and hot sauce. Divide the mixture evenly between the two pretzels, spreading to coat the top of the pretzel. This is easier if your pretzels don't have giant holes in them. Top with the monterey jack cheese, and broil for 4-5 minutes, until the chicken mixture is warmed through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
