  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • For serving: ranch/blue cheese

Instructions

  • Place the chicken thighs into a Ziploc bag or a bowl. Set aside.

  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let the chicken come to room temperature. 
  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or tin foil. 
  • Place the chicken thighs flat on the lined baking sheet and bake the chicken thighs for 10 minutes. 
  • Remove the chicken thighs from the oven and brush the chicken thighs with the remaining buffalo sauce. 
  • Place the chicken back into the oven for an additional 10 minutes. 
  • Turn the oven to broil and broil the chicken thighs for 1-2 minutes or until the top of the chicken thighs begin to caramelize. 
  • Remove the chicken and make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165ºF. 
  • Let the buffalo chicken rest for 10 minutes and then serve with a side of ranch/blue cheese and your favorite sides.
