- 1 lb skinless chicken breast, cut into 40 small bite sized pieces
- 4 celery stalks, trimmed to 4 inch strips

DIRECTIONS:

- Combine garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, black pepper, bread crumbs and panko in a medium bowl and toss well.
- Place the hot sauce in another medium bowl with the oil.
- Dip the chicken into the hot sauce mix, then into the crumbs and place on the baking sheet.
