10 BUFFALO CHICKEN BITES

These were a little tough because I think they cooked too long. Next time I will definitely cut down the cooking time. I also used chicken breasts instead of the recommended thighs, now that I think of it that is probably why they were a bit tough. The flavor was great and we ate them all.

BUFFALO CHICKEN BITES

1 tsp butter
1.5 lbs skinless boneless chicken thighs (I used breasts)
1/4 cup chili sauce
3 Tbsp Oyster sauce
1 tsp Hot pepper sauce
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Melt .5 tsp of butter in nonstick skillet, add half the chicken and cook until browned, about 4 min. Transfer to a slow cooker, repeat with remaining butter and chicken.

Combine all sauces and pour over the chicken, mix well. Cover and cook 2-3 hrs on high or 4-6 hrs on low

When cooked, Transfer chicken to a bowl. Pour sauce into a saucepan and bring to a boil, boil until reduced to about 1/3 cup, approx. 5 min. Add the sauce to the chicken and mix well
