Buffalo Chicken Fingers

3 posts in one week! I'm on a roll! Woo!

I've been trying to find some new recipes to try since we're both trying to eat a little healthier and I was getting tired of grilled chicken.

Thanks to the lovely world of Pinterest I found this great recipe for Buffalo Chicken Fingers.

Here's what you need:
Chicken breasts cut into finger strip size pieces
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup bread crumbs
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon water

In a bag mix together the flour, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt

On a plate mix the breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon garlic power, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt

In a bowl mix the egg whites with the tablespoon of water.

Take the chicken pieces and put them in the flour mixture bag
Sorry for the terrible quality, I was trying to take pictures with messy hands
Shake off the excess then put them in the egg bowl

Shake of the excess egg and roll it around in the breadcrumb mixture

Then place all the pieces on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray

Cook at 400 for 8 minutes then flip over and cook another 8 minutes.

They were amazingly delicious! They had a little kick to them and were perfect dipped in ranch or bbq sauce. I will definitely be making these again.

Target Savings

I rarely go shopping for anything besides clothes and little things at Target but occasionally they have some great deals you can get using coupons!

You are able to combine and regular manufacturer coupon and a Target coupon towards one item (you can get Target coupons from their website or sometimes they have them in Sunday inserts).

There were some good deals this week on a few things I've been wanting to try and I knew we could use around the house so I went to get them.


I got 2 Glade oil diffusers, 2 Glade air sprays, 1 Scrubbing Bubbles Kitchen cleaner, 2 Bic razors, 1 Scotch Tape, and 1 Papermate pens package.

All the Glade products were free after coupons, Bic razors were free, Papermate pens were free, Scotch tape was .50, and the Scrubbing Bubbles was $1.89- that should have only been .89 but there was a mess-up on my part with the coupons I was using and they deleted a $1 coupon I had towards it and I didn't figure it out until I got home, oh well.

I paid $4 for all of that and saved around $25. Crazy to think you would spend close to $30 without coupons if you bought all of that! Why would you not use coupons?!?!
