This Buffalo Chicken on a stick recipe is breaded with Hellman's mayonnaise, just as I did with my Popcorn Shrimp. Both are fun recipes the family will love.
Baked Buffalo Chicken on a Stick is an easy recipe that is very budget conscious. I have been purchasing organic chicken for the most part lately, and this still cost less, than ordering take-out chicken fingers and fries for my daughter and I. Choosing Hellmann's Light or their reduced fat Olive Oil mayonnaise, and teaming it with oven fries and a tomato herb salad, makes for a healthy moderate fat meal. I skewered the chicken on a stick, as suggested in the recipe notes, and reduced the amount of cayenne by half (more 4 year old friendly that way). We enjoyed it very much. I bet your family will too.

Serve this buffalo baked chicken with a creamy potato salad, classic macaroni salad, oven fries or keep it light with a side of Mexican cauliflower rice or a salad with Avocado Lime Ranch Dressing.

This looks so delicious (and easy to do). Our family loves chicken so I need to try this out! Also love the idea for using the skewers.
Lara W. says
I am going to try and make these on the grill tonight. Do you think it will come out good?
Robin says
Yes Lara, they should come out just fine. I sometimes grill drumsticks with coating, and they come out nice. The mayo here would "stand-in" for the fat in the chicken skin, so I don't see a problem.
Let me know how they come out 🙂
Robin says
P.S. If you decide to skewer them, don't forget to soak your skewers in water, before putting them on the grill. (not necessary in oven)
Cathy Coffinger says
Will be trying this with Frank's Red Hot sauce instead of the cayenne and dipping in bleu cheese dressing.
Robin says
Oh, I still poured hot sauce on mine, on top of the cayenne 😀

This looks a hell of a lot butter than take-out chicken tenders. I love that it doesn't require much ingredients and it looks like a quick meal too, perfect for weeknights!
