Last night was the Dallas Cowboys- Washington Redskins game, so FH invited some of the boys from work over to watch the game and eat dinner. So, what to make for dinner??? Boys love wings. and I love tacos. Buffalo chicken tacos!! Amazing! Wings are like classic football food, but I was not prepared to deep fry and sauce a bunch of wings... and then clean up the mess. Tacos are great for get-togethers because you cook the protein and chop up some toppings, and everybody loads up their taco with what they want; no assembly required for the cook. Here's how I did it:
Pin It
Buffalo Chicken Tacos
Makes 10-12 tacos
3 chicken breasts (I know its an odd number, but that's how chicken comes these days in the grocery store. Not a package of 4, just 3. Ridiculous.)
1/2 cup flour
3 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup wing sauce (either out of a bottle- I recommend Frank's wing sauce or homemade)
Veggie oil
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
Cut the chicken into 1 inch pieces. In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, flour, cayenne, black pepper and garlic powder. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture.
After tossing the chicken in the flour, place the chicken into a fine mesh strainer and shake off the excess flour. (If you don't get the extra flour off your chicken will get goopy instead of crispy on the outside.)

| Like this one! I got mine at Wal-mart for like 5 bucks. |
Add enough oil to coat the bottom the skillet, and once it gets hot add the chicken to the pan and cook on both sides until cooked through, about 3 or 4 minutes per side.
Once the chicken is done toss with the buffalo sauce.
Top off your tacos with a number of different toppings:
Lettuce
Cheese
Tomatoes
Ranch or bleu cheese dressing
Onions
Cilantro
Avocados
Pickled jalapenos
These tacos were awesome- definitely a crowd pleaser. Make these for your next gathering and your guests will thank you :)
