Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup buffalo sauce
- 0.5 cup blue cheese dressing
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces.
In a shallow dish, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk together.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.
Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.
Roll the chicken in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the chicken bites in batches for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken bites and drain them on paper towels.
Toss the cooked chicken bites in buffalo sauce until well coated.
Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
