Buffalo Chicken Marinade

This 2-ingredient marinade is coming to the rescue when you can’t take one more bite of bland, boring chicken. Before that chicken goes on the skillet, the grill, or in the oven, douse it in this mega flavor (and still really healthy) marinade and your taste buds will be so happy.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup hot pepper sauce (we used Frank's Red Hot)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1½ pounds chicken breasts or thighs

Instructions

  • Add the hot pepper sauce and lemon juice to a large bowl or bag (big enough to fit your chicken), and stir or shake to combine.
  • Place the chicken in your bag or bowl, submerging it in the marinade. Let it sit for 1-2 hours.
  • Cook the chicken in a skillet on the stovetop, in the oven, or on the grill. Enjoy!

Notes

If you want to marinade your chicken for longer than 2 hours, omit the lemon juice until just before cooking. If you follow this method, you can marinade it for up to 48 hours.
