These baked Buffalo Chicken Tenders make a quick, easy, satisfying dinner. They can also be served as an appetizer on game days! 

We are pretty good about having a variety of dinners, I would guess that we don’t repeat the same recipe more than twice a month, even that is pretty rare. However, while we may not repeat the exact same recipe, there is one flavor combo we have basically every single week, without fail.

Buffalo chicken. It is our absolute favorite.

It all started with a buffalo chicken dip I made a couple years ago, then the obsession spiraled out of control. We pretty much added buffalo sauce to anything — nachos, tacos, shrimp, pizza, baked potatoes, roasted potatoes, and of course chicken…in absolutely any shape or form.

This used to be my go-to chicken tender recipe, but of course now it gets dunked in a healthy dose of buffalo sauce first. If you aren’t a fan of the tangy delicious buffalo sauce, just leave off the last step.

Tips for Making Buffalo Chicken Strips

• Mr. Maebell loves these spicy chicken tenders as is, but I really like to use them in a salad. Throw some sliced chicken tenders in that tangy buffalo sauce on some crisp greens, sliced avocado, crispy bacon, and some bleu cheese dressing and you have a meal fit for a queen! 
• I made these baked buffalo chicken tenders using gluten-free Bisquick. You can use regular Bisquick, if desired. 
• For extra crispy chicken tenders, coat each piece of chicken in the egg and flour mixture twice. You don’t have to, but it’s totally worth it!
