A healthier take on Buffalo chicken wings. Buffalo Chicken Breast Bites served with a Blue Cheese Dip and celery. So delicious!
Buffalo Chicken Wings have to be one of most favourite American foods ever. My husband and I went to Las Vegas for our honeymoon and we literally ate our way down the strip trying the wings everywhere we went!
You can of course make your own wings at home but I tend not to as they aren’t the healthiest of foods plus the kids won’t eat chicken straight from the bone.
So instead I decided to make these Buffalo Chicken Bites; small pieces of fried diced chicken breast seasoned with garlic, onion and paprika and covered in delicious Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce.
You can buy the sauce in most supermarkets and also on Amazon.
This sauce is quite spicy. So for the kids I removed their portion of chicken before I added the hot sauce and instead mixed theirs with some BBQ sauce. And served with some oven chips and peas.
For the adults, I made a blue cheese dip using greek yogurt as the base and served with celery sticks. Super delicious!

We love using Greek yogurt for a base for dips! Amazing it pairs so well with hot sauce!
