Ingredients

Scale
  • Pre-made flatbread or naan (Stonefire brand recommended)
  • Olive oil (for brushing)
  • Garlic powder
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil or avocado oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or buttermilk (optional, to thin drizzle)
  • Optional toppings: thinly sliced green onions, chopped celery, fresh parsley or cilantro

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine flour, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss chicken pieces in the flour mixture until fully coated; shake off excess flour.
  2. Pour about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high until shimmering (around 350°F).
  3. Fry chicken pieces in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Drain on paper towels.
  4. Warm buffalo sauce gently in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Toss fried chicken in sauce just before serving to keep crispiness.
  5. Whisk together blue cheese crumbles, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Thin with milk if needed to a pourable consistency.
  6. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place flatbreads on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, sprinkle garlic powder and black pepper. Bake 5-7 minutes until edges crisp and golden.
  7. Remove flatbreads from oven, top evenly with buffalo chicken, drizzle with blue cheese sauce, and garnish with optional toppings. Serve immediately.
