Ingredients:
- 1 medium chicken breast
- Moore’s original buffalo wing sauce
- Cayenne red pepper (optional)
- Canola cooking oil
To Prepare Buffalo Chicken:
Flatten chicken so it is the same thickness, allowing it to cook evenly. (I used a handheld meat tenderizer).
Heat oil in a frying pan until “HOT”. Place chicken breast in a frying pan. Turn the temperature down to medium-high.
Allow chicken to cook for about 5 minutes before turning over.
Using a meat thermometer, check to see if the chicken is done. (chicken will be ready at 165 degrees Fahrenheit)
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sides according to the directions on the packages.
When the chicken is done place it on a cutting board and cut into cubes.
In a small bowl, add the chicken and Moore’s buffalo wing sauce. Stir until well coated.
Serve on a garnished plate with mashed cauliflower, asparagus, and dipping sauce or lite ranch dressing (optional).
Eat & Enjoy!
