- 1 large egg
- 2 Tbsp water, divided
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup mild buffalo wing sauce
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 2 (1.5-oz) dipping cups Ranch dressing
Instructions

- Place panko in a bowl. Whisk together egg and 1 Tbsp water in another bowl.
- Dip chicken in egg mixture, then toss in panko crumbs, coating well.
- Place chicken on a greased baking sheet; spray chicken with cooking spray to aid in browning.
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is browned and done.
