Chicken wings are delightful, but these baked Buffalo chicken thighs improve the meat to bone ratio dramatically. If you want a meal, try using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for a hearty, spicy main dish. If you serve them with carrot and celery strips on Romaine leaves, you'll sneak in a salad, before your family will know it.

Ingredients

  • skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs: 4 piece
  • salt: 0.75 tsp
  • black pepper: 0.5 tsp (freshly ground)
  • 1/2 teaspoons baking powder: 1 piece
  • olive oil spray:
  • unsalted butter: 2 Tbsp
  • hot sauce, such as Frank’s® RedHot® Original: 0.33333 cup
  • Worcestershire sauce: 0.5 tsp
  • garlic granules: 0.5 tsp
  • cayenne pepper: 0.25 tsp (to taste)
  • Romaine lettuce leaves:
  • 1/2 cups carrot sticks: 1 piece
  • 1/2 cups celery sticks: 1 piece
  • ranch dressing: 1 cup (or as needed)
  • parsley sprigs: (for garnish, fresh, optional)

  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).
