Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season
with salt and pepper

Step 2

In separate bowls, place cornstarch and slightly beaten eggs. Dip chicken into cornstarch then coat in egg mixture. I have also found that you can put the cornstarch in a gallon sized bag and shake the chicken to coat.

Step 3

Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until browned. Place the chicken in a 9 x 13 greased baking dish.

Step 4

In a medium sized mixing bowl, buffalo sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, salt and red pepper flakes. Pour over chicken and bake for 1 hour.

Step 5

I stirred the chicken every 15 minutes so that it coated them in the sauce.
