Main Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds chicken tenders cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1.5 cups cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons salt

- 3 large eggs beaten
- 2 cups canola oil for frying

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Set up the breading station by mixing cornstarch, paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Beat eggs in a separate bowl.
- Dip each chicken piece in the eggs, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat with the cornstarch mixture.
- Heat the canola oil in a deep skillet until it reaches 350°F. Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the chicken on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- For the buffalo sauce, combine the spicy buffalo sauce, melted butter, and minced onion in a bowl.
- Toss the fried chicken bites with the buffalo sauce to coat evenly or serve the sauce on the side.
Notes
Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for a classic pairing. Adjust the spice level by using a milder buffalo sauce if desired.
