Keywords: For extra flavor, marinate chicken strips in buffalo sauce for 30 minutes before coating. Feel free to add cayenne pepper or use a hotter buffalo sauce for increased spiciness. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days; reheat in the oven at 350°F.
