How to Make Sheet Pan Buffalo Chicken
Step 1: Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Prep everything. Chop the potatoes, red onion, and chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Arrange on the pan. Place the potatoes and red onion on one side of a medium sheet pan and the chicken on the other side.
Drizzle everything with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasonings over the chicken and vegetables. Toss each side separately until well coated.
Step 3: Bake. Bake for 15 minutes, then carefully toss everything on the pan. Return it to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
Step 4: Add the sauce. Drizzle the blue cheese dressing over the potatoes and vegetables, then drizzle the Buffalo sauce over the chicken.
Step 5: Garnish and serve. Sprinkle the diced green onions over everything and serve warm.
Important Recipe Notes
- Cut everything into similar-sized pieces: Cut the potatoes and chicken into bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
- Give the ingredients some space: Spread the chicken and vegetables out on the sheet pan. If the pan is too crowded, the ingredients may steam instead of roast.
- Check the chicken: Chicken breasts can vary in size, so check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.
- Use your favorite Buffalo sauce: Choose a mild or spicy Buffalo sauce depending on how much heat you like.
- Don’t skip the blue cheese dressing: The creamy dressing helps balance the spicy, tangy Buffalo sauce.
- Add the sauce after baking: Drizzling the Buffalo sauce over the chicken after it comes out of the oven keeps the flavor fresh and bold.
- For extra crispy potatoes: Make sure the potatoes are spread in a single layer and avoid piling them on top of each other.
- Best served fresh: This sheet pan dinner is best enjoyed right away while the chicken is tender and the potatoes are warm and crispy.
