Ingredients
- 4 average boneless chicken breasts or 6 small breasts
- 1 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce cayenne pepper sauce
- 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 packet ranch dip mix
- nonstick cooking spray oil spray
Instructions
- Set out a 9X13 inch baking dish. Place the chicken breasts in the dish and pour the Frank’s RedHot over the top. Shake the pan a little so the sauce fully coats the chicken. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Set out a rimmed baking sheet and line the pan with parchment paper. Spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray. Set out a pie pan. Then pour the panko and ranch dip mix in the pie pan. Mix well.
- One at a time, lift the chicken breasts out of the cayenne sauce and shake to remove the excess sauce. (If the chicken is too wet, the crust won’t get crispy.)
- Dunk the chicken breast in the panko and coat well. Lay each breast on the baking sheet.
- Once all the breasts are coated in crumbs, spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the tops are golden and crispy. (Bake smaller breasts for approximately 15 minutes.) Serve warm.

Notes
- Want to make this recipe Low Carb or Gluten Free? Gluten Free Panko crumbs work well in this recipe. You can also use “Pork Rind Panko” for a low carb option, however, the crust does not get as crispy as it does with traditional panko.
- Sealed in an airtight container leftover chicken will keep well for up to 4 days. You can also freeze cooked Buffalo Chicken Breasts! Allow them to cool completely before sealing in an airtight container, like a freezer bag. Keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
