Buffalo Chicken Bites

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/4 cup hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
• 1 teaspoon butter

Directions

Whisk flour, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Beat eggs together in a separate bowl. Dip chicken pieces in the egg; transfer chicken to flour mixture and coat completely.

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat.

Fry coated chicken pieces in the hot oil, working in batches, until no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side; drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Combine hot sauce, garlic, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in the microwave until butter is melted and sauce is warm, about 1 minute. Serve hot sauce mixture as a dipping sauce or pour over buffalo chicken bites.
