Instructions
Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken thighs with Buttermilk, hot sauce, and Chicken ingredients. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Coat the Chicken: In a separate bowl, combine Coating ingredients. Dredge chicken pieces in the panko mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine all Sauce ingredients. Heat over medium heat, stirring until butter is melted and sauce is well combined.
Toss Chicken in Sauce: Add cooked chicken to the Sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Make the Ranch Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together all Ranch Dressing ingredients until smooth.
Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine Filling ingredients. Add the buffalo chicken and drizzle with Ranch Dressing. Toss gently to combine.
