Tips:

To make the chicken extra crispy, be sure to pat it dry before cooking. You can also use a cornstarch dredge to help crisp up the chicken.

If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a large nonstick skillet. Just be sure to preheat the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the chicken.

Feel free to adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your liking. If you like your chicken extra spicy, add more sauce. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less sauce.

Serve the buffalo chicken skillet with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or a side salad.

If you have any leftover buffalo chicken skillet, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.

Buffalo chicken skillet is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great dish to serve at parties or potlucks.
