This American dinner dish offers a wonderfully simple preparation. Chicken breasts are soaked in a marinade blending buttermilk with Buffalo wing sauce, Dijon mustard, and garlic. After marinating for up to a day, the chicken bakes in the oven until perfectly cooked through. The result is incredibly tender, flavourful chicken with a gentle spicy kick, requiring minimal effort for a satisfying meal.
