INGREDIENTS

  • Seasoning

    • 🧂 3/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • Buffalo Sauce

    • 🧈 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1/3 cup hot sauce
    • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • Sides

    • 🥕 1 1/2 cups carrot sticks
    • 1 1/2 cups celery sticks
    • 1 cup ranch dressing

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.

2

Trim excess skin and fat from thighs and pat dry with paper towels. Place chicken thighs in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag.

3

Stir together salt, pepper, and baking powder in a small bowl until well blended. Add seasonings to the bag. Seal the bag; shake and move chicken around to evenly coat with seasonings.

4

Place seasoned chicken thighs on the prepared pan, skin side up, and spray with olive oil spray.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken skin is brown and crispy, chicken is no longer pink at the center and juices run clear, 40 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center of chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

6

Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and cayenne. Remove from heat and keep warm.

7

Remove chicken from the oven; brush thighs evenly with hot sauce mixture.

8

Serve on a bed of Romaine leaves, with fresh carrot and celery sticks, and ranch dressing for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley.
