- Milk

Are you the type of person who only goes to events because of the fact that buffalo wings may be present? We’re with you, and that’s why our chefs took the beloved dish from messy app to epic weeknight dinner. First, chicken is coated in a cheesy, Frank’s Red Hot spiced panko mixture. It’s roasted to juicy, crunchy perfection, then drizzled with creamy buffalo-style sauce. Oh, and did we mention there’s buttery roasted broccoli and sour cream and scallion mashed potatoes on the side?! Yeah, it’s safe to say this dish is a slam dunk/home run/total dinner goals.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. • In a small bowl, combine half the sour cream (you’ll use the rest later), ½ tsp Frank’s RedHot® Original Seasoning (be sure to measure—you’ll use the rest in the next step), and a big pinch of salt. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. • 4 SERVINGS: Adjust racks to top and middle positions. Use 1 tsp Frank’s Seasoning.
• Place 1 TBSP butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30-45 seconds. • Stir in panko, Monterey Jack, remaining Frank’s RedHot® Original Seasoning, and a big pinch of both salt and pepper. • 4 SERVINGS: Use 2 TBSP butter.
• Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Place in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil; cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain. • Heat a drizzle of oil and scallion whites in empty pot over low heat; cook until softened, 1 minute. Return potatoes to pot; mash with remaining sour cream and 1 TBSP butter until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper. Keep covered off heat. • 4 SERVINGS: Use 2 TBSP butter.
• While potatoes cook, pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Place on one side of a lightly oiled baking sheet. • Mound tops of chicken with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere (no need to coat the undersides). • 4 SERVINGS: Spread chicken out across entire sheet.
• Toss broccoli on opposite side of sheet from chicken with a large drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Roast on top rack until chicken is golden brown and cooked through and broccoli is slightly crispy, 15-18 minutes. • 4 SERVINGS: Toss broccoli on a second sheet. Roast chicken on top rack and broccoli on middle rack. • TIP: If chicken is done before broccoli, remove from sheet and continue roasting broccoli.
• Transfer roasted broccoli to a large bowl; add 1 TBSP butter and toss until melted. • Divide broccoli, potatoes, and chicken between plates. Drizzle chicken with creamy buffalo sauce and honey (or serve on the side for dipping). Garnish potatoes and chicken with scallion greens and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
This super easy to follow recipe for buffalo-spiced crispy chicken cutlets is the recipe that ignited my love for Hello Fresh! I'm learning to cook at age 46, and it's amazing and so much easier than I ever thought.
The buffalo-spiced crispy chicken cutlets were so easy to cook and they came out like a gourmet chef made them! The biggest game changer for me was the idea of adding a little honey to the mashed potatoes. It seriously took it to another level!
Love Buffalo sauce, so was excited to try this. Very crispy coating, just the right amount of spicy. Great taste! Chicken cutlets were quite small though; prefer more protein, less carbs.
I love doing any of the meals with the crispy chicken cutlets. The toasted panko crumbs with the cheese and/or spices are always a hit. That's one of the best things about doing Hello Fresh, is that you get to learn some easy ways to zip up any meal.
This one was just fabulous- Buffalo crispy topping was spicy but not too hot and was tamed with the sauce. The combo was great. Potatoes were good and green beans nice and fresh!
Great meal! The Buffalo Spice is a great addition to the Chicken. I love baking the meat and the beans.
The honey drizzle + buffalo-spiced drizzle is literally brilliant!! I am gaining so many new ways to dress dishes with different sauces. This pro is probably my most beneficial aspect of Hello Fresh - expanding my sauce knowledge in the kitchen for when I cook on my own!
One of my favorite recipes yet! The chicken cutlet was incredibly juicy! I think the potatoes needed to be boiled longer than what the instructions recommended. Also, more butter to the mashed potatoes would make it even creamier and more delicious. Would order again
The chicken was just spicy enough to satisfy me, but not too hot for my family (they don't enjoy buffalo spice as much as I do). The green beans & potatoes were great, as always. The quality of Hello Fresh chicken is always excellent, no matter what the flavor.
It's a very delicious recipe which we've had before. I love the Buffalo spice and honey combination. However our chicken cutlet portions were very skimpy. We only received about one and a half cutlets.
