My Lemon Pepper Chicken Bites inspired this recipe. If you love this Buffalo version, you need to try the lemon pepper chicken bites.
Do you have questions?
I like to dip my bites in ranch or blue cheese dressing and serve the bites with steamed vegetables and mac and cheese.
Traditional Buffalo sauce combines butter, franks red hot (which is a Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce), a little bit of vinegar, and garlic. The 3 extra ingredients may not sound like they make a huge difference, but they do.
Watch how it's made…
