Hot Buffalo Bites

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Cut each chicken breast in three strips. You can also cut them in half again, depending on how many people you are serving or how big a portion you want. Set the chicken aside.

Heat the butter together with the hot sauce, just until the butter is melted. You can use more hot sauce to taste; I usually use a little more ’cause I like it a little hotter. Mix together, and then dip each chicken piece into the butter/hot sauce mix, and place on a rimmed baking pan. You don’t want to crowd the pan too much. The chicken won’t brown as nicely if you do. Then sprinkle the Hidden Valley ranch dressing evenly over the chicken.

Place in the oven and let bake for about 20 minutes, just until the chicken is done. If the top isn’t browned a little, turn the broiler on for just a couple of minutes.

Serve with celery and carrot sticks and blue cheese dressing. And watch your guests eat their boneless Buffalo chicken. You can also make this with the dark meat, but in our house we use the breasts. They are actually a little moister with dark meat.
