Buffalo bird is one among my favourite foods. I grew up consuming bird wings with my dad and its deliver again such nice memories.

I also ate loads of bird tenders rising up. So this recipe is like marrying a few of my childhood favorites together.


These baked buffalo bird tenders are primarily founded off those pistachio coconut bird tenders which could be one among my favourite older recipes. I replaced up the recipe just a bit – brought some spices to kick up the heat, combined the egg wash with some hot sauce, and replaced out the nuts to have a further impartial flavor.

chicken – within the event you can’t discover bird tenders, you'll be able to also use bird breast which you simply simply cut into strips (I’ve accomplished this lots of occasions within the past).
