Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)

Seasoning & Sauce

  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure the seasoning sticks well.
  2. Coat with buffalo sauce: Place the chicken breasts in a bowl or zip-top bag and pour the buffalo sauce over them. Toss or mix to fully coat each piece evenly.
  3. Season with ranch: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the buffalo-coated chicken and rub it in using your hands or a spoon to distribute the seasoning thoroughly.
  4. Cook the chicken: Choose your preferred cooking method: either bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C), or grill the chicken on medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked.
  5. Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from the heat source and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, then serve warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the buffalo sauce and ranch seasoning for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the fridge.
  • If baking, line your baking tray with foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce for desired spice level.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked safely to 165°F (74°C).
