Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
  2. Rinse chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry using paper towels.
  3. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika.
  4. In a large oven-safe skillet or pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  5. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the skin is golden and crispy.
  6. Turn the thighs over and cook for an additional 3 minutes on the other side.
  7. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside
  8. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the hot sauce and melted butter.
  9. Dip each chicken thigh into the buffalo sauce, ensuring each piece is generously coated.
  10. Place the coated chicken thighs back into the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  11. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the meat is no longer pink at the bone.
  12. Remove from the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes.
  13. Serve with extra buffalo sauce, blue cheese or ranch dressing, and celery or carrot sticks, if desired.
