It’s easy to run out to your favorite chicken wing joint and order up a basket of crispy chicken wings slathered in saucy awesomeness, but making Buffalo sauce at home is super easy. And it’s so much better! Also, I can choose whatever cut of chicken I am in the mood for, like a nice thick chicken breast, or maybe some boneless chicken thighs. Or both! This recipe is super easy to make, either on the grill or on the stove top. It will be ready and on the table in well under 30 minutes, including your prep time. You can also bake it if you’d like, though that will take a bit longer. Let’s talk about how to make buffalo chicken, shall we? Add the remaining ingredients and whisk them together until nice and smooth. Set aside until ready to use. Baste on a few spoonsful of the Buffalo sauce and continue to grill until the chicken is cooked through. It should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F when measured with a meat thermometer. I like to baste a few times while cooking.
For the Stove Top
Heat the oil in a large pan to medium heat. Sear the seasoned chicken 5 minutes per side, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook another 5 minutes, or until you reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F when measured with a meat thermometer. Cooking time can vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken.
Final Steps
Remove from heat and let rest a couple minutes. Smother with the remaining Buffalo sauce. Green onions or other fresh herbs are a nice touch as well. I love that! Guilt free eating! Perfect for weeknight dinners or game day eats!
Serving Buffalo Chicken
You can enjoy the chicken on it’s own, but it’s ideal for making Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches, Buffalo Chicken Wraps, Buffalo Chicken Salad, or delicious Buffalo Chicken Sliders. There are so many ways to enjoy it! You can also freeze it for 3 months or longer in freezer containers.
