Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering all the ingredients for your Spicy Baked Buffalo Chicken Bites. Ensure the chicken breast is diced into uniform pieces, roughly one inch in size, to promote even cooking.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken with buffalo sauce until each piece is thoroughly coated.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  5. Take each buffalo-coated chicken piece and dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Place the coated bites on a lined baking sheet.
  6. Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake the chicken bites for 20-25 minutes.
  7. While the chicken bakes, take this time to prepare your sides. Mix your cooked rice with a drizzle of olive oil and your choice of dried herbs.
  8. Once the Spicy Baked Buffalo Chicken Bites are out of the oven, plate them alongside the seasoned rice.
