- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken pieces and make sure they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Remove the chicken pieces from the buttermilk mixture and let any excess liquid drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 6
Arrange the chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken bites are golden brown and cooked through.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your crispy, low-fat chicken bites with your favorite dipping sauce!
