Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with half the paprika, half the chili powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a drizzle of cooking oil in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through ~{4%minutes} per side. Transfer chicken to a #large bowl{}. Once cool enough to handle, shred chicken using 2 forks.

Meanwhile, place 1 tbsp butter in a second #large microwave-safe bowl{}; microwave until butter has melted ~{45%seconds}. Add Frank's hot sauce, remaining paprika, and remaining chili powder to bowl with melted butter; stir to combine. Add shredded chicken to bowl with spicy sauce; toss until coated.
