Preparation

Step 1

Line a large baking sheet with foil. Spray with nonstick cooking or baking spray.

Wash chicken and pat dry. Cut the chicken breasts crosswise into 1/2-inch strips. Put them in a food storage bag or bowl and toss with 1/2 cup of the wing sauce. Let stand for 15 minutes or marinate in the refriterator for 30 to 45 minutes.

Heat oven to 425°.

Combine the panko crumbs, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, parsley flakes, and paprika. Toss well to blend ingredients. Toss with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.

Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, relish, a dash of garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons of the Buffalo wing sauce.

Serve with the aioli for dipping.
