Let's get cooking: How to make it

Wash your hands and your surfaces before and after handling all poultry and produce. Failure to do so can lead to Salmonella bacterial infection (4-6 days of absolute awful), or onion juice in your eye - which is also not a good time.

1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds.

2. Stir in Frank's Seasoning Blend.

3. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then place in a plastic bag or between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet, spoon or rolling pin until chicken is about 1/3" thick. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

4. Coat chicken pieces thoroughly in seasoning mix.

5. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a large pan over medium-high heat.

6. Add chicken to pan and cook until sides are browned and breasts are cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.

7. Turn off heat and transfer to a cutting board, wipe out pan with paper towel.

8. Plate with sides and serve with Buttermilk Ranch dip on the side.
