Super Bowl, Super Snack – Baked buffalo chicken

This Sunday is the Super Bowl LV. Don’t ask me who is playing, or who I think is winning, I’m here for the snacks and the halftime! I didn’t even know Super Bowl was actually two words, as you can see.

This baked buffalo chicken is my go to snack. It’s easy to make, crunchy, a bit spicy, and my family and friends love it! Last year my friend Katia told me it’d be a good idea to share the recipe for the Super Bowl, and here I finally am! Enjoy it with some homemade dip, and carrot and celery. You’ll find the dip recipe below.

Here is what you need:

Ingredients:
2-3 pieces of chicken breast
1c panko breadcrumbs (or any)
1/2c parmesan cheese freshly grated
1/2tsp salt
1/2tsp ground pepper
1/2tsp thyme
1/2tsp basil
1/2tsp garlic powder
1/2tsp oregano
1/2tsp onion powder
1/4t melted unsalted butter
1 large egg
1/2c buffalo sauce

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Cut the chicken in small pieces; cut the fat off.
In a medium bowl mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and spices. If you only have parmesan cheese that’s already grated it’s fine. However, using freshly grated parm gives this chicken extra flavor.

In a separate bowl, mix the butter with the red hot sauce and the egg. Put parchment paper on an oven tray, or lightly grease it. Dip the chicken in the sauce mix, bread it, and put on the tray.

Bake for 15-20min, until you see the chicken looks golden, and well cooked. If you have a thermometer, cook chicken to 165°F for safety.

I also wanted to share this dip that I always pair it with. It’s actually one I’d recommend you to save and pair it with other meals or veggie snacks. It emulates a dip that my favorite restaurant in my hometown prepares to accompany their hot wings.

Dipping Sauce
Ingredients:

1/2c mayonnaise
3/4c Greek yogurt
1/2tsp Maggi seasoning sauce
1/4tsp garlic powder
1/2tsp ground pepper

Add all the ingredients to a bowl, and whisk until well combined. Dip away!

NOTES:
* If you don’t have panko breadcrumbs, use any other kind. Using panko breadcrumbs really adds a crunch to this chicken.
* If you usually buy Italian spices combined, you can go ahead and use them, and add salt and pepper to your breadcrumbs.
* For the dip, you can substitute the Greek yogurt for table cream, or sour cream.

I hope you try this recipe!

¡Buen provecho!
