Course Main Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 lb chicken thighs and/or legs bone-in and skin on for best results
  • 1/2 cup Frank's Redhot Wings buffalo sauce + more for basting or the original/your favorite buffalo sauce
  • 3/4 cup panko crumbs
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400℉. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray on non-stick spray. Set aside
  • In a shallow dish, add buffalo sauce. In a second shallow dish add panko, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and mix together.
  • Dip chicken thighs and legs first into the buffalo sauce, covering the entire piece of chicken and then coat with the panko mixture. Arrange chicken on the baking sheet. Discard any remaining sauce/panko crumbs. Drizzle olive oil over chicken.
  • Cook for 25 minutes. Add a couple tablespoons of buffalo sauce to a small bowl. Remove from oven and brush with additional buffalo sauce. Return chicken to oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until crispy and internal temperature reaches 165℉. If you really like your sauce on meat, drizzle a little more buffalo sauce over chicken after it comes out of the oven!
