Notes
Buffalo Sauce Enthusiasts: For those who can't get enough of the spicy, tangy kick, consider making a double portion of buffalo sauce. It’s perfect for drizzling extra on your chicken or having some on hand for other dishes.
Oven Readiness: Ensure your oven is preheated before you begin baking. This step is key to achieving even cooking and the perfect golden-brown finish on your chicken.
Blue Cheese Burst: The recipe suggests sprinkling blue cheese crumbles on the chicken post-baking, but if you're a cheese lover, don't hesitate to add an extra handful before you put the chicken in the oven for a gooier, cheesier experience.
Smart Freezing: Stock up on chicken breasts or thighs when they're on sale. Wrap them individually and freeze them to have a convenient, quick-to-defrost option for meals. Remember, for the best flavor and texture, use frozen chicken breasts within nine months, as per USDA guidelines.
