Buffalo Chicken Fingers

This is a baked version of the popular spicy appetizer. Use more or less cayenne to taste.

Ingredients

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into finger-sized pieces


• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour


• 1 teaspoon garlic powder


• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper


• 1/2 teaspoon salt


• 3/4 cup bread crumbs


• 2 egg whites, beaten


• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with a nonstick spray.


2. In a bag, mix together flour, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. On a plate, mix the bread crumbs with the rest of the garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt.


3. Shake the chicken pieces with the seasoned flour. Beat egg whites with 1 tablespoon water, and place egg mixture in a shallow dish or bowl. Dip seasoned chicken in egg mixture, then roll in the seasoned bread crumb mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet.


4. Bake for about 8 minutes in the preheated oven. Use tongs to turn pieces over. Bake 8 minutes longer, or until chicken juices run clear.
