Buffalo Marinade
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup vinegar
- ¼ cup hot sauce
- 1 ounce packet ranch dressing mix
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon coarse-ground black pepper

Buffalo Chicken
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
Instructions
- Put the vegetable oil, vinegar, hot sauce, powdered ranch dressing mix, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness and place them in a gallon-sized storage bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and turn it to coat the chicken. Place in the fridge to marinate for one hour.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grease the grill grates, remove the chicken from the marinade, and discard the remaining marinade. Grill the chicken for 13-16 minutes, flipping halfway through, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F.
- Combine the melted butter and 2 tablespoons of hot sauce. Brush on the grilled chicken.
