# Top Tips:

01 -
  • One-Pan Meal: Minimal cleanup with everything cooked in a single dish.
  • Bold Flavor Profile: Combines the spicy kick of buffalo sauce with the creamy, herbal notes of ranch seasoning.
  • Gluten-Free: A naturally gluten-free option as long as your seasoning and sauce labels are verified.
02 -
  • Sauce Distribution: Ensure you save half the sauce specifically for the chicken to prevent it from drying out during the roast.
  • Ingredient Checks: Always check the labels on your ranch seasoning and buffalo sauce to ensure they meet your dietary requirements, such as being gluten-free or dairy-free.
