Boneless Buffalo Chicken Bites
What You Should Know
You'd likely grab these from the frozen prepared foods or hot-case near the deli—easy to pop in the oven for a quick snack or party platter. They feel indulgent and nostalgic (think chicken nuggets with a spicy kick), but the long ingredient list and industrial additives signal an engineered texture and shelf-stable product rather than a simple whole-food preparation.

Common Questions about Boneless Buffalo Chicken Bites
Well, that depends on how you define 'healthy'! These bites pack a solid protein punch with 15 grams per serving, making them a filling option if you're looking for something hearty. However, they do contain a fair bit of sodium (870 mg), so if you're watching your salt intake, keep that in mind. Moderation is key!
