If you like Buffalo chicken dip, you'll love these creamy, spicy chicken bites. They have the same flavor as the classic party dip, but they're less messy and more fun to eat!

Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (to taste)
  • 3 1/2 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 3/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 12 cups Panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, and green onions. Roll a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into a 1 ½-inch ball and place onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken mixture.
  3. Set out three shallow dishes, pie plates, or cake pans. Crack your eggs in one, add flour to another, and put the Panko in the third.
  4. Roll each chicken ball in the flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and then roll in the Panko until evenly coated. Place onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all of the chicken balls are coated.
  5. Place into the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm with blue cheese or ranch dressing.

Notes

If you're starting with raw chicken breast, bake it in the oven for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F. Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then shred. For faster prep, cut the chicken into small pieces and fry it with a teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan.
