Buffalo Chicken and Homemade French Fries

One of my absolute favorite things to make is buffalo chicken with homemade french fries.  I'm a vegetarian, but I do make this for my husband and it is probably one of his favorite meals! And I just love how easy it is to make!

For the chicken: (serving size approximately 2)
5-6 Chicken thighs (or wings, whichever is your preference)
1/2-3/4 cup Sriracha Hot chili sauce (or I sometimes use Franks red hot buffalo sauce)
1/2 stick Butter
Salt and Pepper (optional)

* Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
* Boil water in a large pot.  Once the water is rapidly boiling add the the chicken and cook for 7 minutes.
* Drain the water and pat the chicken dry with a paper towel (sometimes I choose not to do this but it will splatter on your oven if you skip this step)
* Spray a baking sheet with Pam Cooking Spray and place the chicken on the baking sheet.
* Bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes turning it a few times to avoid it sticking.
* While that is cooking, melt the butter in the microwave.  Pour it into a large bowl.
* Add the Sriracha sauce and mix well.
* When the chicken is done place it in the bowl, covering it completely with the sauce and let it sit a few minutes before serving.


For the French Fries: (Serving size approximately 2)
3 Potatoes
Salt and Pepper
Olive Oil

* Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
* Spray a baking sheet with Pam Cooking Spray.
* Cut the potatoes into slices and place them in a large bowl.
* Drizzle the potatoes with Olive Oil (enough to coat them completely).
* Stir potatoes adding salt and pepper evenly.
* Put them on the baking sheet and add more salt and pepper if needed.
* Bake them for 20-30 minutes flipping them often to prevent sticking.


Since the chicken is boiled and then baked its a healthier version, while still being crispy!
