For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of cayenne pepper to the buttermilk marinade. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of Buffalo wing sauce or substitute with a milder hot sauce. Serve this Spicy Buttermilk Baked Chicken with a side of creamy mashed potatoes, a crisp green salad, or your favorite roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, Buffalo wing sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. (2 minutes)
02
StepAdd the chicken breasts to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate deeply into the chicken. (12-24 hours)
03
StepWhen ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
04
StepCarefully pour the marinated chicken and all of the marinade into the prepared baking dish, spreading the chicken breasts evenly. (2 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (40 minutes)

Jun 14, 2025The marinade is key. Don't skip the 24-hour marinating time – it's worth it!
