Buffalo chicken fingers

This recipe came from another blog "Ambers Delectable Delights". I believe she got the recipe from cooking light. These are so yummy. Jake loved them!

Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (used black since I don't have red)
  • 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups coarsely crushed cornflakes
  • 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/3 cup hot sauce (Franks Red Hot)
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (Tabasco)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup fat-free ranch dressing (We used blue cheese)
  • 4 celery stalks, cut into 1/4 x 3-inch sticks (omitted...by accident....I bought them and forgot)
  • 4 carrots, cut into 1/4 x 3-inch sticks (omitted, on purpose :-P)
Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Combine first 6 ingredients in a shallow dish, stirring with a whisk.
  • Place egg whites in a shallow dish.
  • Place cornflakes in a shallow dish.
  • Working with 1 chicken strip at a time, dredge in flour mixture. Dip in egg whites; dredge in cornflakes. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Repeat procedure with remaining chicken strips, flour mixture, egg whites, and cornflakes.
  • Lightly coat chicken strips with cooking spray.
  • Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until done, turning once.
  • Combine hot sauce, pepper sauce, and Worcestershire in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in butter. Drizzle hot sauce mixture over chicken. Serve with ranch dressing, celery, and carrots.

Hi Beth!We love to make Buffalo Chicken Dip with canned chicken too. What kind do you use? I work with Swanson's so we use Swanson Chicken in this recipe since it's made with only white meat chicken. We always get lots of rave reviews! You can check it out Here.
