Description

This Buffalo Ranch Chicken recipe features tender, juicy boneless chicken breasts marinated in a zesty blend of ranch dressing, buffalo wing sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic, then grilled to perfection. The marinade infuses the chicken with classic Buffalo wing flavors paired with creamy ranch, making it an irresistible main dish perfect for a casual dinner or a game day meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Marinade

  • â…“ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup bottled ranch dressing
  • â…“ cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 garlic clove, minced


Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a gallon-size ziplock bag. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken to an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Make the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, ranch dressing, buffalo wing sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic until fully combined.
  3. Marinate: Pour the marinade over the chicken in the ziplock bag. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
  4. Grill the chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Grill the chicken for about 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides or alongside extra ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • Marinating overnight intensifies flavor and tenderness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is fully cooked without drying out.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the chicken on a stovetop grill pan or bake it in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.
  • This recipe pairs well with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping, mimicking classic Buffalo wing accompaniments.
  • Adjust buffalo wing sauce amount depending on your spice tolerance.
