Ingredients

8 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teapsoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup hot pepper sauce
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
Vegetable Oil, for frying

Instructions

Measure the flour, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt into a large resealable bag. Seal the bag and shake to combine.
Add the chicken pieces to the bag of seasoning and shake well to coat each chicken piece. Set aside.
Next, combine the hot pepper sauce, butter, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
Add two inches of vegetable oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is fully heated to 350 degrees F, cook the chicken in batches until golden brown on both sides. This should take 4-5 minutes on each side.
Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a paper-towel lined plate and set it aside.
Next, pour the sauce mixture into a large skillet over medium heat.
Bring the sauce to a low boil and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the cooked chicken bites and stir well to coat. Continue to cook, stirring the chicken pieces every minute or so until the sauce is reduced and thickened - approximately 3-4 minutes.
Turn off the heat. Plate and garnish. Serve immediately.
