Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken tenderloin cut into 1" pieces
- 3/4 cup flour
Panko Breading
- 1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup cornmeal fine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin

Buffalo Egg Wash
- 2 egg
- 1/4 cup hot sauce not their regular hot sauce, Frank's Wings brand
Creamy Honey Buffalo Dip
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (I use light)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt may sub mayonnaise, nonfat
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce Frank's Wings brand
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with foil. Place a baking rack on top of the foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat oven to 425 F.
- Add flour to a large freezer bag. Mix together Panko Breading ingredients in a separate large freezer bag (or separate large bowl). In a large bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 1/4 cup hot sauce.
- Add chicken to flour mixture and toss until coated. Dip chicken in egg/buffalo sauce mixture and let any excess drip off before placing in bag with Panko Breading. Toss with breading until well coated, pressing breading into chicken through the bag.
- Line chicken on the baking rack, and lightly spray with cooking spray. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden. Broil to desired crispiness.
- Meanwhile, make the Creamy Honey Buffalo Dip by whisking all the ingredients together except the hot sauce. After chicken is done, taste a piece to decide how spicy you want to make the dip and proceed to add hot sauce. (I use a full teaspoon and it is hot how I like it :) Start popping!
