Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for extra heat
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the chicken for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
- While the chicken bakes, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce, vinegar, cayenne pepper (if using), and a pinch of salt.
- Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over it. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately with rice, celery sticks, and blue cheese dressing on the side, if desired.
