Ww 6 Pt. Buffalo Chicken Strips

Submitted by Nif_H

"I CORRECTED MY TYPO! I had originally mistakingly listed 2 teaspoons of salt for this recipe, instead of 1/2 teaspoon. The funny thing is, I don't usually even use salt! :) This is a great replacement to the high fat and calories found in hot wings. Tasty, low fat and easy to make. The fibre content of these is incredibly high, which is great for your health. Serve these in a wrap with crisp, fresh lettuce or with anything else that sounds good with hot strips. Enjoy!"

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1⁄2 cup egg white (I buy them by the carton so I don't know how many eggs you would need)
• 1 cup Fiber One cereal, original
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup Frank's red hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon butter (use light if you can find it)

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Wash and cut chicken breasts into strips that are approximately 1 1/2 inches wide. You can even pound the breast a little thinner first and then cut. Set aside.
2. In a food processor, combine cereal, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and pepper and mix to a fine powder or consistency like breadcrumbs. Pour mixture into a shallow bowl or onto a small plate. Set aside.
3. In a small saucepan, melt butter and then add in 3/4 cup of the hot sauce. Mix well and warm until heated, but not bubbling or boiling. Pour into a small, shallow bowl, and set aside.
4. In a small bowl, mix egg whites with the remaining 1/4 cup of hot sauce. Now take each chicken strip, and coat with egg and hot sauce mixture. Shake off all excess egg from the meat. Coat chicken in cereal mix until strip is fully breaded. Lay strip on baking sheet. Repeat until all pieces of chicken are breaded and on the baking sheet. Now, with a brush or spoon, drizzle about 3/4 hot sauce and butter mixture over all the chicken pieces. Make sure to coat well.
5. Bake chicken at 400 degrees until breading becomes crispy and chicken is cooked through (approximately 15-20 minutes). Serve with remaining hot sauce mixture for dipping.

I want to rate it higher but I can't right now because the salt content is way way too high. It might be a typo, but unfortunately the salt made this dish difficult to eat. It is clear, however, that with a reduced salt - I am thinking 1/4 tsp instead of 2 tsp - this dish would be great. The texture is exactly like regular chicken strips and they look the same. These are variations to the recipe: used corn flakes instead of Fiber One, I added 2 garlic cloves and a bit of shredded onion to the egg whites as we did not have the powder form. I made some hot and some not hot by having a bowl with just egg white and no hot sauce. Also - I found that the amount of egg white is too much. A bit extra of the crumb mixture could be used. I will make again and update this review. Made for 'Went to the market' tag; April 09

This is way too hot/spicy for me. The saltiness issue, which was corrected might help.

This is a nice substitute for our hot wing cravings! Thanks for the post.

The chicken has a nice crunch to it but I couldn't get past the flavor of the fiber one cereal. That's just a personal preference though. The wing sauce did a decent job camoflauging the cereal though. I would make this again but with a different cereal for the coating, perhaps cornflakes.
