The idea to share this recipe came from the many requests I’ve received for my Greek yogurt ranch dressing! A few weeks ago, I shared how I make it on my Instagram stories—but not the actual recipe! That got me thinking… how could I use this ranch dressing in a brand-new dish?

Of course, buffalo chicken came right to mind. Hands down, this is my classic, most made, and most requested buffalo chicken.

I discovered this sheet-pan method a little over a year ago and now use the recipe all the time. It’s perfect because it’s super easy but also delicious!

For this recipe, I like to use a homemade herb blend of ranch seasoning—dried parsley, chives, dill, onion, and garlic. Then, I toss the crispy sheet pan chicken in my bold buffalo sauce, letting all those delicious flavors meld together.

The herb mix adds just the right touch of ranch flavor without being overpowering.

My family and I adore this recipe!

Steps

Step 1: the chicken

You want to start with the cubed raw chicken. You can use breasts or thighs, or a mix of the two, as I do. Toss the cubed chicken with a mix of seasonings. I call this my homemade Ranch Herb Blend: smoked paprika, dried parsley, dried chives, dried dill, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Next, add flour, then toss again.

The flour helps the chicken get crispy in the oven. It’s just a light coating—enough to add the perfect crunch without making it fully breaded, just enough so the sauce clings beautifully to every bite.

Step 2: the buffalo sauce

I’ve made this sauce a million times—it’s one of our absolute favorites! Here’s how I do it: Mix together the hot sauce (Franks is my go-to), melted butter, a couple of teaspoons of seasoned salt, chipotle chili powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Melt everything together on the stove until just combined.

The chipotle chili powder is what makes this buffalo sauce special. Sometimes, I’ll add smoked paprika too. But I usually let the chipotle shine with its perfect balance of smoke and spice. It’s so delicious! If you’re sensitive to heat, simply leave out the chipotle.

Step 3: finish the chicken

Once the chicken is crispy, pour the buffalo sauce over it, sprinkle on the remaining herb blend, and let it cook a little longer. The coating will soak up all that delicious sauce, making every bite extra flavorful!

It is so delish!

Step 4: mix the ranch

This is so good! I use plain whole milk Greek yogurt; Straus is my favorite brand right now.

To balance the tang, I mix in just a couple of spoonfuls of mayo, which also adds that classic ranch flavor. Then, I stir in buttermilk, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, chives, dill, onion powder, and garlic powder, seasoning it all with salt and pepper.

You’d never guess this has a Greek yogurt base—it’s better than anything from the store! Sometimes, I like to spice it up by adding a jalapeño.

This chicken is so delicious with homemade French fries or sweet potato fries. You can also serve it over rice with a side salad or toss it into a salad—so many options! Just be sure to use lots of ranch!

It’s the perfect dinner for the whole family and also works great for meal prep. Store it in the fridge or freezer for an easy, flavorful meal anytime!

Greek Yogurt Ranch

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 450° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or rub with oil.
    2. To make the herb blend: In a bowl, mix the paprika, dried parsley, dried chives, dill, onion, and garlic powder.
    3. On the sheet pan, toss together the chicken, half of the herb blend, salt, and pepper. Add the flour and toss again. Add olive oil, tossing to coat. Bake 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
    4. Meanwhile, make the buffalo sauce. In a saucepan set over medium heat, melt together the hot sauce, butter, seasoned salt, and chipotle. Stir until melted and combined.
    5. Pour the buffalo sauce over the chicken, toss the chicken in the sauce, and add the remaining herb blend. Bake for another 5 minutes, until the buffalo sauce is baked onto the chicken.
    6. To make the Greek Yogurt Ranch. Mix all ingredients together and season with salt and pepper.
    7. Serve the chicken with the ranch dressing. I love this over rice, in a salad, and, of course, it's great with French fries too!

    This dish was excellent! Really tasty. Love the sheet pan dinners for weeknights. Made some roasted potatoes & cauliflower in the side and the buffalo sauce & ranch was great on those too. Yum yum

  2. 4 stars
    Very tasty and the whole family enjoyed it. Only issue was the spices were too thick. I would definitely go with about half next time. Overall great recipe though.

    1. Hey Diana,
      Thanks so much for trying this recipe and sharing your feedback, love to hear it turned out well for you!

  3. The spices was way too heavy! Next time I will use 1/2 or 1/4 of the amount of chicken spices. Otherwise very good. Added sliced celery, green onion, and minced parsley to my salad.

  5. 5 stars
    Made this for a quick lunch and loved it, had to double the herbs and spices in the ranch sauce but it was perfect after. First recipe in a long time where everyone asked it to be kept on the dinner rotation.
