Baked Buffalo Chicken with Blue Cheese Salad
Ingredients
- 8 bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
- 1 onion, cut crosswise into 1/3 -inch thick rings
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce plus more for serving
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- One 4-ounce container blue cheese crumbles
- 6 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups chopped celery with any leaves
- One 5-ounce bag mixed greens
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400?. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, onion, 1/3 cup buffalo sauce and the olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring the onion and turning the chicken halfway through, until the onion is softened and browned and the chicken is cooked through, about 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a salad bowl, whisk together the blue cheese, sour cream and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Add the celery and mixed greens and toss. Top the salad with the baked chicken and onion. Serve with more buffalo sauce on the side
