Add a side of rice or homemade french fries and you’ve got all you need! This fun restaurant-style dinner is great any night of the week!
Oh my goodness, this meal is my favorite. Seriously, my favorite. There’s something I just love so much about oven-baked chicken served with rice. It’s so comforting to me. And even though it’s a more basic dinner, oven-baked chicken will always make me happy.
But you all? Add some buffalo sauce and a side of blue cheese dressing and I am sold. I think buffalo sauce is one of my all-time favorite sauces, my dad’s especially. But we all love a good buffalo chicken dinner.
Fun fact? I would make buffalo, baked up in the oven, long before I even began HBH. It’s a tried and true family staple that we all love.
When I decided I was making this, I didn’t really realize what I was making. I had just written out the recipe as a sheet pan chicken with broccoli in a spicy sauce.
It wasn’t until I was actually making the sauce that I was basically making my buffalo sauce, just with the addition of honey. So even better, right?
It turned out so, so, so yummy. Now the whole family loves this very simple sheet pan dinner!
You want to start with the chicken. Cubed raw chicken, breasts or thighs, or use a mix of the two as I do. Toss the cubed chicken with a mix of seasonings: smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add flour, then toss again.
The flour allows the chicken to get crispy in the oven. It’s a small amount, so a very light coating, but just perfect. Not a fully bready chicken, but breaded just enough so that the sauce can really stick nicely to the chicken.
Bake the chicken up with a side of broccoli. It takes maybe 20 minutes to cook.
Now the sauce. Hot sauce, Franks is my favorite. Add some salty butter and then a couple of teaspoons of seasoned salt and a pinch of black pepper. Melt this all together on the stove until just combined, Then, turn the heat off and mix in the honey.
The honey makes this buffalo sauce so special. The lightest bit of sweetness. Pour the sauce over the baked, crispy chicken and cook the chicken in the sauce. What happens is that the coating soaks up all the sauce – wow, so delish.
These are so yummy with home-baked french fries and ranch or blue cheese dressing!
Perfect dinner for everyone in the family!

Another winner! My Colorado family loved it! They’re already asking me to make it for Super Bowl. I used chicken thighs which I find retain more moistness when baking.
Awesome!! Love to hear this has already made it on the Super Bowl menu haha! xT

I made this last night and it was delicious! I followed recipe exactly except for using cubed chicken tenders because I had some on hand. I really liked the addition of honey in the sauce too. We served it over rice, and there was enough for my husband to take for his lunch today. Another fave of ours are your crispy brussell sprouts with aioli! Thank you!
