Crispy Baked Buffalo Chicken

lbs chicken drumsticks (or a mix of thighs and drumsticks)

tbsp baking powder (not baking soda!)

tsp kosher salt

tsp pepper

tbsp butter (melted (use coconut oil

buffalo sauce

Preheat oven to 250F and set a wire cooling rack over a large baking sheet (line the sheet with tinfoil for easier clean up). Spray rack with cooking oil (I like Kelapo coconut oil spray).

Pat drumsticks dry and place in a large ziploc bag. Add baking powder, salt and pepper and shake vigorously to coat.

Lay drumsticks in a single layer on prepared rack and place rack in the lower third of the oven. Bake 30 minutes, then increase temperature to 425F and move tray to upper middle rack of oven. Bake another 30 to 40 minutes, until well browned and crisp.

In a small bowl, combine melted butter and buffalo sauce. Brush over drumsticks or toss them in a bowl to coat. At this point, you can return them to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes, if you like the sauce to be baked on.

Buffalo Chicken Recipe

chicken breasts

olive oil

garlic powder

salt

pepper

Frank's Red Hot Sauce

butter (melted)

honey

lime (juiced)

garlic (minced)

onion powder

Feta cheese (for serving (optional))

Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a large 11 x 8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Add the chicken breasts to your baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, to season.

Prepare your homemade buffalo sauce. In a small mixing bowl whisk together the Frank&#x27;s Red Hot Sauce, melted butter, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, and onion powder. Season with additional salt, pepper, or honey, to taste.

Pour your prepared buffalo sauce over the top of the chicken breasts. Thoroughly coat each chicken breast in sauce (I like to use kitchen tongs to rotate each chicken breast 1-2 times).

Tent your baking dish with foil and transfer it to the oven. Bake, covered, for 20 minutes. Then uncover and continue to bake for an additional 5-15 minutes, or until internal temperature registers 160°F as measured with a digital meat thermometer.

Remove from the oven and allow your chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
