How to Make Baked Buffalo Chicken

  3. Coat 1.5 lbs of chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces, in 1 cup of breadcrumbs.
  4. Place breaded chicken in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Spread the remaining wing sauce (approximately 1/2 cup) over the chicken.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
