Buffalo Chicken Thigh Recipe
Report
While eating wings can be absolutely messy, these buffalo chicken thighs help out with that. You get that same juicy chicken, but in a way that can be eaten with a fork. Tender thighs are seasoned and seared in a pan and then drenched in a delicious buffalo sauce. It's an easy go-to weeknight meal!

Notes
- Be sure the oil is hot when adding your chicken to get a nice sear on the outside.
- Trimming the excess fat from the chicken thighs helps to avoid the undesirable texture that can sometimes happen with chicken thighs.
- You can serve these up just like wings with the classic sides of celery and carrot sticks.
