Buffalo Chicken Bites

Great Superbowl snack choice!! These were well-liked and much neater than buffalo chicken wings. Relatively easy to make and turned out crunchy and just a little spicy. Originally from http://sweetpeaskitchen.com/2011/09/buffalo-chicken-bites/

Ingredients:

• 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1/4-1/2 hot sauce to taste (I used sriracha)
• 3 1/2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 3/4 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup chopped scallions
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3-4 cups Corn Flakes cereal, crushed

Directions:

1. To make the shredded chicken, I took about 5-6 chicken thighs and put them in a slow cooker with a little olive oil and chicken broth and cooked it on high for four hours.
2. Once that was down, I pealed off the skin and shredded the chicken with my hands.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with some parchment paper.
4. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, hot sauce, cheddar cheese and green onions. Mix well.
5. Place flour in a shallow dish, eggs in another dish, and crushed cornflakes in a third dish.
6. Roll a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into a ball and roll around in the flour, then the egg, then the cornflakes. Repeat for the entire bowl.
7. Place on baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Note: If you want to make some of this ahead of time, you can freeze them right before you bake them.
