I just discovered Frank's Buffalo Wing sauce - where has this been all my life?? Modified a recipe I found online and it turned out SO yummy!

10oz chicken breast, cut into strips
1/4 cup Frank's Buffalo Wing sauce (I might use more of this next time, can't have enough!)
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon whipped butter
1 teaspoon celery seed
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup flour
cornstarch

Directions:
1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2
Spray skillet with cooking spray. Dredge chicken in flour, then add to pan and cook until browned.
3
Place chicken in an 11 x 7 baking dish coated with cooking spray.
4
Combine hot sauce and next 4 ingredients. Dissolve a little cornstarch in water and add it to the sauce. Pour over chicken and bake uncovered for 20 minutes.

*The original recipe called for 1tsp celery seed in the sauce, I didn't have that but I'm sure it would be good! Also the chicken was a little chewy, I probably should have cooked it a little less on the stove.

    IMO you really don't need the butter or the flour.

    It is really darn good if you make it in the crockpot, then shred it. I like to make a buffalo chicken dip using greek yogurt.

    Also, if you love Frank's TRY Louisiana Wing Sauce. I was a Frank's addict but recently discovered Louisiana, and it is MUCH better!!!!

    Well the butter I used was only 50 calories/tbsp so not a big deal. The original recipe didn't have flour but all the comments had said to dredge it, which makes for a different dish (its 110 calories for the flour, so again not really much). You can omit it if you want, but I think it probably tastes better this way. I'll look for that one, thanks!

    This would be good stuffed with blue cheese.

    I'm not a blue cheese fan myself, but for those who are I think it would be good, or as a dip! I was thinking of putting the leftovers in a wrap with carrots and celery and some ranch for dinner tonight.

    This would be great on a salad too! Awesome idea! I love buffalo anything... we have a brand here, Speed Queen from a local restaurant, that I will probably use instead, but love it!

    Bottle of Franks wing sauce. Packet of ranch mix (dry) 3lbs chicken breast. 4hrs on high in the crock pot, and shred. Spoon of sour cream on top of one serving...delicious. Maybe bad for you, I don't know, I made it before starting this journey. But yummy. Just throwing that out there lol.

    I was just going to make this a couple of nights ago, but I decided the buffalo wouldn't go with the rest of the meal. Also, I didn't have a recipe so I was going to ::ahem:: WING it. ::crickets::

    So anyway....Frank's also has a thicker version, kind of the consistancy of ketchup. Perfect for dipping and stuff! Love it!
