Buffalo "Wing" Nuggets

This weekend I made Buffalo Wings - well, sort of. My husband kept asking me "These aren't fried?" "Nope." I don't think he believed me but it was a simple "find" at the grocery store that I now share with you!

Shake and Bake - the Extra Crispy one
Chicken, skinless, boneless, and cut into bite size nuggets
Red Hot or any cajun hot sauce (Not Tabasco - it isn't vinegary enough)
I can't Believe it's not Butter, SPRAY
Fat Free Blue Cheese Dressing
Blue Cheese crumbles, the light version

Yes, that's right Shake and Bake worked. If you would rather use Ranch Dressing just substitute it for the Blue Cheese.

Cover the chicken with the hot suace and marinade. I did it overnight. Drain well and pat dry. Follow shake and Bake instructions. I pressed the crumbs in also. Cook in the oven according to the instructions but half way through turn the chicken over. I also cooked mine a bit longer.

Sauce: Mix equal parts of butter with hot sauce. You may want to adjust according to your heat/tang sensitivity. You can either cover the chicken in the sauce or serve for dipping on the side along with the blue cheese.

I added 1 tablespoon of the crumbles to the dressing to give it more of the blue cheese flavor.

I think I can be pretty happy with these the rest of my life. I may even like them better than actual wings!
