Oven Baked Buffalo Chicken Nuggets with Blue Cheese Sauce

Is your husband a buffalo chicken nut? I swear, my hubs would eat buffalo chicken wings for dinner every single night if he was not married to me. The problem has always been that the wings are either too spicy to feed to our boys or due to the bones in the chicken wings, we have to spend a lot of time shredding the meat off the bone just for our boys to enjoy daddy’s favorite meal. Not to mention all the time it takes to deep fry them and the fact that they are not the most healthy of food options.

Thankfully, on our clean eating meal *came a recipe for Boneless Buffalo Chicken Nuggets and man, are they good. I was really nervous about making them since my hubs is such a crazy freak over buffalo chicken and I did not want to mess up one of his favorite food groups. However, this recipe was super easy to make, super delicious and our boys L-O-V-E-D it. Oh and so did the hubs! 🙂

This recipe also comes with an amazing blue cheese sauce. My hubs was not a fan of it since it using Greek yogurt and he does not like “that weird stuff”, but the boys and I loved it. In fact, I am sure Collin would have eaten the whole batch had I let him!
