Instructions
Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-size pieces. Toss in a bowl with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle with olive oil. If you prefer not to use oil, spray with non-stick cooking spray. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through. The cooking time will depend on the size and thickness of the chicken breast.
In a small pot or in a microwave safe bowl, heat the buffalo sauce, butter, and sugar together until the sugar is dissolved. Toss with cooked chicken coating each piece with the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to coat the chicken.
Substitutions and Variations:For extra freshness, sprinkle fresh scallions on top of the buffalo chicken bites.If you don't want to use brown sugar, you can substitute honey instead. I would suggest using 2 Tablespoons of honey.If you don't want to saute the chicken in oil, spray the large skillet with non-stick cooking spray.
