2 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup hot sauce, like Frank’s RedHot
4 tbsp grass-fed butter
1 tbsp white vinegar
1/4 tsp garlic powder, for the sauce
1/4 tsp cayenne, optional
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 tbsp blue cheese crumbles
1 tbsp lemon juice
salt and black pepper, to taste

method

Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss the chicken cubes with the olive oil and the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the chicken on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning the pieces halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Make the buffalo sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add the hot sauce, vinegar, garlic powder and cayenne, and whisk until well combined. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
Make the drizzle. Mix the Greek yogurt with the blue cheese crumbles and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and refrigerate until needed.
Toss the hot chicken bites in the buffalo sauce.
Serve with the blue cheese drizzle, and celery sticks if you like.

chef's tips

For extra crispy bites, broil them for the last 1 to 2 minutes.
Make a double batch of sauce and save it for meal prep.
If you are prepping ahead, keep the sauce separate until you are ready to eat. Sauced bites go soft in the fridge.
