Buffalo Chicken Thighs Baked Recipes

BUFFALO CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a cast iron skillet. Meanwhile pat your chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and lightly season both sides with kosher salt and pepper. When the oil is hot (but not smoking) place the chicken thighs in the skillet, skin side down (this is important). Cover with a splatter screen. (I usually turn the heat down to a strong medium here, but keep an eye on it, and keep rotating the pan so the chicken thighs get browned evenly.) Check after a few minutes to make sure they are not getting too dark, and if so, turn down your heat. They should get a nice golden brown after 8 minutes or so.
• Leave the chicken thighs skin side down and transfer to the oven on a middle rack. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the thighs and continue cooking another 4-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, melt butter with minced garlic in a small saucepan, cooking over medium-low heat until garlic is softened - 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the hot sauce and smoked paprika till smooth and set aside.
• Remove the chicken thighs from the oven and place on paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Whisk the buffalo sauce one more time and spoon over each chicken thigh till coated. Enjoy warm!
