  • Salt/pepper to taste
  • 1 cup flour Optional, omit for a healthier option*
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil*
  • Firecracker Sauce
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar*
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon butter*
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar*
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder optional
  • Other Ingredients:

  • 15 diced peanuts to garnish*


 Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt/pepper as desired.
  • Place the flour in a zip lock bag and drop the chicken pieces into it. Seal the bag and shake to coat. (*Feel free to omit the flour ingredient for a healthier spin)
  • Heat 4 tablespoons of oil over medium and heat and cook the floured (or un-floured) chicken for a few minutes on each side.
  • Mix firecracker sauce ingredients together in a large bowl. Remove chicken from the skillet and drop into the bowl, mixing around to coat thoroughly.
  • Place the chicken and sauce in a baking dish (the size is not important, just large enough to hold the chicken) and cook, covered, for 30 minutes.
  • Scoop 2-3 tablespoons into the middle of each piece of lettuce. Sprinkle the top of each with diced peanuts and enjoy!
