For The Buffalo Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter , melted
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce

  • Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.

To Make The Buffalo Sauce

  • Mix 2 tablespoons of melted butter, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce together in a small bowl. Feel free to add more hot sauce for a spicier buffalo sauce, or use less if you don't want your sauce to be as spicy.
  • After the chicken strips have baked, pour the buffalo sauce over them.
  • Enjoy hot.

Notes

  • Extra Buffalo Sauce: If you're a fan of buffalo sauce, consider making a double batch for additional dipping or drizzling.
  • Buffalo Chicken Nuggets: Transform this recipe into buffalo chicken nuggets by cutting the chicken tenderloin into 1-inch pieces before cooking.
  • Low Carb Option: For a low carb version, skip the breadcrumbs and season the chicken with only the spices listed in the recipe.
  • Buffalo Chicken Salad Idea: Use this recipe to create a delicious Buffalo Chicken Salad. Bake and slice the chicken as directed, mix it with buffalo sauce, 2 tablespoons of chopped celery, and 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing, and serve over lettuce.
