Just 5 ingredients and 20 minutes and you have a real comfort food meal ready to eat. Feeds 4.
- 4 Whole Boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut in half
- 1/2 Cup Hot sauce like Frank's Red Hot
- 6 Tablespoons Unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 Cup Ranch dressing store bought or homemade
- 8 Small Slider buns
-
Use store bought or make your own. If making your own ranch dressing follow instructions but reduce buttermilk to 1/4 cup so that the dressing is thicker and won't be as messy on the sandwich.
-
Heat cast iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cut chicken thighs in half.
-
This next step is optional but will cook your chicken more uniformly and faster. Pound the thicker end of the chicken to an even height with the lower thickness on the other end of the chicken thigh. Or if you don’t have a meat pounder then use flat metal like a dough scraper (see picture) and press down on the thicker side of the chicken.
-
Add oil, salt and pepper to chicken thighs.
-
Fry in skillet, covered, for about 5 minutes per side or until cooked through.
-
While chicken cooks, melt butter over low heat. Once melted add hot sauce and mix to combine.
-
Butter and griddle the buns or use straight out of the bag.
-
Dip cooked chicken in the buffalo sauce with tongs. Hold tongs over the pot to let excess buffalo sauce drip back into the pan.
-
Top with Ranch dressing and then top bun. Enjoy!
