How to make Buffalo Chicken Bites:

Combine well: Continue to mix all these ingredients together until well combined.

How to store Buffalo Chicken Bites:

Keep these bites stored covered in the fridge. They will last around three days! When you’re ready to eat them again you can just put them in the microwave to reheat.

Make Ahead:

Don’t they look easy to make?! I bet you could make a bunch ahead of time and freeze them for when you need them. Because the chicken is cooked, you’d just need to warm them through when ready to serve.

Quick tip: Shred Chicken with an electric mixer:

Have you ever tried shredding chicken with a stand mixer? It’s a game changer! If you need finely shredded chicken for a recipe, it’s the best. Using a stand mixer for shredding and mixing all the ingredients together for this recipe is a great short cut. Seems like I’m only using my mixer for sweet recipes, so it’s fun to put it to work on a savory recipe too.

What to dip your buffalo chicken bites into?

To dip the bites, we’re just using Ken’s Steak House Blue Cheese dressing (because it’s the best). If you have the time and you’re feeling adventurous, you’ll have to try this old fashioned Roquefort Dressing. It’s also a favorite at our house. Because the chicken is already cooked, these little bites don’t need much time in the oven. In fact if you’d rather broil them to get more of that golden bread crust finish, you can do a little of both baking…with a couple minutes under the broiler.
