Buffalo Chicken Tenders



Buffalo Chicken Tenders
(Low Carb Version)

1 1/2 pounds Chicken Breast Tenderloins (Skinless and 99% fat free) - I used Harvestland Brand From Super Walmart
4 Tablespoons Butter
1/2 Cup Frank's RedHot Wings Buffalo Sauce
Non-stick cooking spray
Cayenne Pepper or Red Pepper Fakes (optional if you like it spicy)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Melt the butter in a bowl. Mix in the buffalo sauce. Dip each chicken tenderloin into the mixture and place it onto the baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, and then spoon any remaining mixture over each tenderloin. Continue baking for 15 more minutes or until the chicken is done and the tops get a little brown.

  2. I thought about you when I was making it. You'll want to add some cayenne or red pepper flaked to it to spice it up a bit. It won't be hot enough for you as is.

  3. I love your profile photo. I had a baby that looked just like this. You and a dog lover and a low carber, how could you not have a great recipe site. I'm printing this recipe out now and making it tonight. Thanks.

  4. Is it possible to follow you through email and not Facebook? I don't bring my computer up on a daily basis and I'd hate to miss any of your recipes?
