Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust based on heat preference)

1/4 cup ranch dressing (for serving)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

    Prepare the Coatings: In three separate bowls, set up your breading stations:

      - Bowl 1: Place the flour seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

        - Bowl 2: Pour the beaten eggs.

          - Bowl 3: Combine the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese and smoked paprika.

            Coat the Chicken: Take each chicken piece and dip it into the seasoned flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. Shake off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

              Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out evenly without touching.

                Bake: Bake the chicken bites in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

                  Toss with Buffalo Sauce: Once the bites are out of the oven, transfer them into a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the hot bites and toss gently until all pieces are evenly coated.

                    Serve: Serve the buffalo chicken bites immediately with ranch dressing on the side for dipping. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
