Directions

  1. 1

    1. Preheat the oven to 450° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or rub with oil.2. On the sheet pan, toss together the chicken, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the flour and toss again. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, tossing to coat. Arrange the chicken to one side of the baking sheet. Add the broccoli to the other side. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. 3. Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a saucepan set over medium heat, melt together the hot sauce, butter, seasoned salt, and cayenne. Stir until melted and combined. Remove from the heat and mix in the honey. 4. Remove the broccoli from the sheet pan. Then pour the buffalo sauce over the chicken, toss the chicken up in the sauce. Bake another 5 minutes, until the buffalo sauce is baked onto the chicken. 5. Serve the chicken, broccoli, and buffalo sauce with green onions and blue cheese or ranch dressing. I love this over rice, but it's also great with french fries too!

Tips for Sheet Pan Success

  • Don't Overcrowd: Ensure your chicken and broccoli are spread in a single layer for even cooking and optimal crispness. If needed, use two sheet pans.
  • Crispy Broccoli: Tossing the broccoli with olive oil before roasting helps it get beautifully charred edges without becoming soggy.
  • Adjust the Heat: Love it spicier? Add a touch more cayenne pepper to the sauce. Prefer it milder? Reduce the cayenne or increase the honey slightly.

Serve this fantastic easy chicken dinner with a side of fluffy rice, crispy home fries, or a fresh green salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Drizzle with cool blue cheese or ranch dressing and a sprinkle of sliced green onions for that authentic buffalo experience. This quick sheet pan meal will quickly become a family favorite!
