Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts cut into 2-inch pieces (approximately 2½ pounds)
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce such as Frank’s Red Hot
  • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Celery ribs cut into 3-inch pieces, for serving
  • Blue cheese dressing store-bought or homemade, for serving
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper optional

Method
 

  1. Begin by seasoning the chicken pieces evenly with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the chicken in batches, ensuring each piece has enough space to brown properly. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the chicken is lightly browned and fully cooked through.
  3. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Add the salted butter, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder to the pan. Stir until each chicken piece is thoroughly coated with the rich, flavorful buffalo sauce.
  4. Serve immediately with celery sticks for crunch and blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
