  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Chicken thighs: Boneless, skinless thighs cook quickly and stay moist.
  • Mayonnaise: Forms the creamy base of the sauce.
  • Hot sauce: Adds the signature spicy kick.
  • Spices: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika enhance the chicken’s flavor.
  • Green onions: For garnish, adding a fresh, vibrant touch.

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the seasoned chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes on each side.

Notes

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for faster cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the spice level.
  • Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken for a good sear.
