Buffalo Chicken Thighs
Our quick and easy Buffalo Chicken Thighs recipe can be made right on the stovetop and served any way you want!
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter sub plant-based butter
- 1/2 - 1 cup buffalo sauce adjust as desired
- serving suggestion: blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing blue cheese crumbles, and/or celery sticks
Instructions
- Season Chicken: Sprinkle both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- Cook Chicken: Bring a large cast iron skillet to a medium-high heat and add butter to melt. Sear chicken thighs for about 2-3 minutes per side, then drop the heat to medium and continue cooking until the internal temperature at the thickest part of the meat reaches 165 degrees F (use a meat thermometer).
- Sauce: Toss the cooked chicken thighs in buffalo sauce. Option to add more or less, as desired.
- Serve: Enjoy any way you want - by themselves, on a sandwich, wrap, salad, etc!
Notes
- Sauces & Dressings: feel free to keep it easy and use store-bought versions, but we also have a homemade buffalo sauce, blue cheese dressing, and ranch dressing!
- Dairy Free: simply use a plant-based butter and a dairy-free dressing.
- Whole30/Paleo: use ghee in place of butter, a compliant buffalo sauce (we love Primal Kitchen) and a compliant ranch dressing! Omit the blue cheese crumbles.
