Buffalo Chicken Tenders

With our busy schedules, it's not too often that the entire family spends an evening together. So when it does happen, we want to make the night extra special. We can start by renting a comedy or an action-packed video. Then we prepare a few snacks, making sure to put Buffalo chicken tenders on the top of the list 'cause, after all, they're guaranteed to earn two thumbs up from your panel of critics!

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 20 min

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup hot cayenne pepper sauce
• 1 cup plain bread crumbs
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch strips
• Cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
    
2. Place flour, hot sauce, and bread crumbs each in its own shallow dish. Dip chicken strips in flour, then hot sauce, then bread crumbs, coating evenly with each.
    
3. Place coated strips on baking sheet. Coat chicken with cooking spray and bake 8 minutes.
    
4. Turn chicken over and coat with cooking spray then cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and breading is golden brown. Serve immediately.
    

Notes

Make sure to use hot cayenne pepper sauce, not simply "hot pepper sauce". . .unless you like your chicken really hot. And don't forget the traditional Buffalo go-alongs - celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.
