A Fitness Coach Who Lost 132 Lb. Shares His Go-To High-Protein Buffalo Chicken Bake Recipe: ‘Perfect For Meal Prep’

One of the most popular dishes you’ll find at a Super Bowl party, backyard barbecue, or any casual event is some type of buffalo chicken dish, such as wings or dip. Buffalo chicken is a tasty, tangy, and incredibly delicious food item. However, it can also be extremely high in calories and not very nutrient-dense when prepared a certain way.

However, there are many great health-related content creators and cooks who have found ways to create healthier renditions of some of our favorite dishes. One of those content creators is Aussie Fitness, also known as Dez Cerimagic, a health coach who creates TikTok videos filled with fitness tips and delicious recipes. One of the ways he rose to fame is by sharing his 132 lb weight loss with his followers.

Last year, Dez made a video teaching his users how to make a ‘Cheesy Buffalo Chicken & Crispy Potatoes’ dish that looks absolutely delicious and is very high in protein, making it a much healthier and substantial dish rather than a big plate of deep fried chicken wings. Better yet, it makes a great dish for meal prep, so you can be a little more prepared for meals throughout the week.

In his video, Dez introduces this meal as “The most delicious and easy high-protein cheesy buffalo chicken and crispy potatoes that have 66 grams of protein and are perfect for meal prep.”

To create the yummy dish, the creator uses approximately two pounds of diced chicken breast and seasons it with a teaspoon each of paprika, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. He then sets his chicken aside and takes around two pounds of diced potatoes, coats them in a teaspoon of olive oil and then seasons them with the same spices he used on the chicken.

Dez then air fries the potatoes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can put then into the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake fo 30 to 35 minutes or until they’re gold and crispy. To cook the chicken, the health coach adds a dab of butter to a hot skillet before throwing in half a diced onion. Once the onion has cooked for a few minutes, he adds his seasoned chicken into the pan and cooks it through.

“Once the chicken is cooked, take it off the heat and add buffalo sauce and a bit of honey,” says Dez.

“Then add the crispy potatoes and mix it all together.”
