Have you ever had buffalo chicken bites? If you have not – you are REALLY missing out on something
I personally love a good hot wing BUT I hate the bones. A couple weeks ago my husband and I went to Applebee’s. When I told my dad we went there he asked “was it horrible” ( that is my dad for you 😉 )
The answer was yes
But that is not the point.
There are 2 reasons why we went – 1) There are almost no “chain” restaurants in Portland OR ( Chili’s or TGI Friday and the list goes on)
2) I remembered that they had boneless chicken bites as an appetizer that my mom and I use to share ( because they are not gluten – free friendly I did not have them)
BUT the whole experience inspired this recipe because I wanted to try and make them at home and give y’all a gluten – free alternative
Whew. I am glad you liked that story and now onto the recipe 🙂
I do not want to say this is a copy cat recipe since I have not had the Applebee’s version in 12 years and my dad will not go to one – BUT I will say my whole family loved these bites 🙂 My husband ate everything on the blue plate above in one sitting
To make this dish gluten – free simply use gluten – free flour instead of whole wheat – they are interchangeable
You can also use almond milk for this recipe as well
I did fry these bites – you can bake them at 350 for 15 – 25 minutes – do whatever method floats your boat
Here are some pictures of the final product 🙂
Yum Yum Yum – now all you need are napkins
I really hope you make this recipe please let me know what you think of it – simply comment on the recipe – this really helps other readers know if they should make it or not 🙂

Thank you a million billion times! Missing Applebee’s boneless wings was one of the things that made me so sad when I found out I had Celiac. Don’t tell your dad, but we were obsessed with them. I made these last night, didn’t say a word about the recipe, husband took a few bites and said, “I feel like I’m at Applebee’s.” He couldn’t get enough. We both loved them. Thank you so so so much!!! And now I know how to make a really good friend chicken, too!! Delicious!
Sara
I am so glad you enjoed it 🙂

So, this recipe is a year old by now and I’m JUST getting around to trying it – my apologies for being so behind the times! But wow, this recipe is amazing! The breading is absolutely perfect, with just the right amount of crunch, and the sauce was obviously fantastic (as is everything made with Franks!). A pound and a half of chicken yielded over 4 dozen bites, and they were devoured almost instantly! I can totally see us adding some toasted coconut to the flour mixture and frying in coconut oil instead, with pineapple sauce instead of the buffalo, for an island-y twist! Thanks for the great recipe!
Sara
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe and thank you for the helpful tips

Just made this for the 100th time! It’s always such a hit and my family says I ruined buffalo wings at restaurants for them since these are so much better. I fry them in my deep fryer and it comes out perfect every time! Today I’m feeding 20 hungry teenage lacrosse players with about 5lbs of them 🙂

WAHOO !!! You are a rock star!!!!
