I love wings, but sometimes I don’t want to eat off the bone. That’s when its perfect to have these healthy little bites. They gave me all of the satisfaction of a buffalo chicken wing with the ease of a single bite-sized piece.
With just a few tweaks these Buffalo Chicken Bites are also Whole30 compliant. This delicious and healthy little snack, lunch or appetizer comes together in about 30 minutes.

Enjoy your bites as an appetizer or on a salad.
I like to enjoy these buffalo chicken bites in all different ways! They make for a delicious appetizer. I like to serve them on a platter with some of my homemade Whole30 friendly ranch and some celery.
I also like to make them on a Sunday as a part of my meal prep. Then I can use these little bites in meals throughout the week. They are a great salad topper for a simple romaine lettuce salad.
Grab a few simple kitchen tools and ingredients to make a batch of the buffalo chicken bites. First, you will need a sharp knife to cube the chicken into bite size pieces. Then, grab a cutting board, a baking sheet, some mixing bowls, and a frying pan.
The basic ingredients that you will need in order to make these buffalo chicken bites are some boneless skinless chicken breasts, eggs, almond flour, salt pepper, butter or ghee, and some hot sauce.
If you are looking to make these bites Whole30 compliant you can just swap out the butter for 1/4 cup of ghee and make sure you use Whole30 compliant hot sauce, like Frank’s Red Hot (the original is compliant)!
Let’s make some Buffalo Chicken Bites!
First, cut some boneless skinless chicken breast into cubes. Then, simply bread them with an egg wash, almond flour, salt, and pepper. Next, bake the bites to give them a little crunch.
I always bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment for easier clean up. Then, toss the baked bites in a butter and hot sauce mixture. If you want to make Whole30 buffalo chicken bites, just sub the butter for some ghee.
Serve the bites however you would like! I like mine on a salad with cucumbers and ranch dressing. These bites are also perfect as an appetizer on a toothpick with some blue cheese or ranch dipping sauces.

Can you use regular flour instead of almond flour?
Yes! Regular flour will work!
do you know what the nutrition facts are for this?
This looks delicious, but the use of butter is NOT Whole30 compliant!!!!
