Buffalo Chicken Bites Recipe

[Jlynn217 54]

These Buffalo chicken Bites are seriously amazing and one of the best Weight Watchers recipes I’ve ever made. They are a wonderful, much lighter alternative to traditional Buffalo chicken wings, but for a lot less Points. Each serving has just 3 Points +, making this an excellent dish to help you satisfy that Buffalo chicken craving. I like mine super spicy, so I served it with a side of extra Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, but they are also great as is, dipped into a low calorie ranch dressing or low calorie blue cheese dressing. Pair it with some celery for that authentic feel. These were so amazing, that my husband could not believe it was a light recipe. I’ll definitely be adding this to my list of must make Super Bowl recipes too!

Jlynn,

Thanks for posting this recipe! As a Buffalonian, I appreciate the attempt to be as close to wings as possible, using Frank's Hot Sauce and Blue cheese are key to making it truly Buffalo. And I am one of those people that will morelikely make a recipe if there is a picture of the dish, love the photo.

I am concerned though with the high carbs, but then, it's only 16 gms. And it has lots of Protein, YAY!

But whatever the case may be, this sure is better for you than wings. I'll be making these soon!

Thanks again!

I cannot wait to make these!! Is there any substitution for the corn flake outside? My boyfriend isn't a huge cf fan.

You can cut the carbs and increase the Fiber by breading in pulverized fiber one Cereal, the original twiggy kind instead of the corn flakes.
