Buffalo Chicken Bites

We paired these with some cheesy breadsticks for dinner. They weren't necessarily the quickest thing to make, but they were good. Not overly spicy for the kids and it made a ton of them, so we didn't just have a few and were still hungry.

What you need:

• 1 cup chicken, diced and cooked
