Ingredients
1.25
pounds
chicken thighs
boneless, skinless
½
cup
buffalo wing sauce
2
tablespoon
butter
½
teaspoon
garlic powder
½
teaspoon
onion powder
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the buffalo wing sauce, butter, garlic powder and onion powder.
Cook over medium heat until butter is melted and mixture bubbles. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Once sauce is cooked, remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes to cool.
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl, add the cooled sauce. Allow the thighs to marinade in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
To Make in the Oven
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish, add the marinated chicken thighs.
Pour any remaining buffalo sauce mixture over the top.
Cover with foil and pinch tightly all around the edges to seal.
Cook for 35-40 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
Use a pastry brush to top with additional buffalo sauce.
When serving the chicken, use a spoon to add the additional liquid that's in the bottom of the pan back over the chicken.
To Make on the Grill
Prepare the chicken thighs and marinade as stated above. Once the chicken is done marinating, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Place the chicken thighs on the heat, and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove when the chicken reaches 165F.
Notes
Oven Baked Chicken Thighs: Be sure to save the juice in the bottom of the pan and use it as a sauce when serving! This adds excellent flavor!
