                          Preparation Instructions:

                          Step 1

                          Defrost chicken overnight.

                          Step 2

                          Preheat convection oven to 425°F.

                          Step 3

                          Arrange Sports Goalz™ in a single layer on sheet pans. Bake in convection oven at 425°F for 12-15 minutes until golden and crisp.

                          Step 4

                          While Sports Goalz™ are cooking, prepare the buffalo sauce. Combine hot sauce and butter in a saucepan or kettle. Warm until heated through and butter is melted.
