Are you the type who only goes to sporting events for Buffalo wings? We’re with you, and so we’ve taken the beloved dish from messy app to epic weeknight dinner. Chicken is brushed with sour cream, coated in a Buffalo-spiced panko mixture, roasted to juicy, crunchy perfection, and then drizzled with creamy blue cheese sauce. Roasted carrots and sour cream-scallion mashed potatoes on the side make this dish a slam dunk.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

PREP
1
  • Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.

  • Trim green beans if necessary.

ROAST CARROTS
2
  • Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, half the Fry Seasoning (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper.

  • Roast on top rack until golden brown and tender, 20-25 minutes.

  • Swap in green beans for carrots. Roast until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes. (Save carrots for another use.)

MAKE MASHED POTATOES
3
  • While carrots roast, place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.

  • Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid; drain and return potatoes to pot. Mash with one packet of sour cream (two packets for 4 servings) and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until smooth, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. (You’ll use more sour cream in the next step.)

  • Stir in half the scallion greens. Season with salt and pepper. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

COAT CHICKEN
4
  • Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper.

  • Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a shallow microwave-safe dish. Microwave until melted, 30 seconds. Stir in panko, Frank’s Seasoning Blend, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • Brush one packet sour cream (two packets for 4) onto tops of chicken in a thin layer. (You’ll use the remaining sour cream in the next step.) Working one piece at a time, dip brushed sides of chicken into panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides).

  • Place chicken, coated sides up, on a second, lightly oiled baking sheet.

ROAST & MAKE SAUCE
5
  • Roast chicken on middle rack until browned and cooked through, 15-18 minutes. Transfer to a plate to rest.

  • While chicken cooks, in a small bowl, combine blue cheese dressing, scallion whites, and remaining sour cream.

SERVE
6
  • Divide carrots, mashed potatoes, and chicken between plates. Top chicken with blue cheese sauce, remaining scallion greens, and hot sauce if desired. Serve with any remaining blue cheese sauce on the side.

Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavor: The buffalo-spiced panko crust and blue cheese sauce are a winning combo — crispy, flavorful, and just the right amount of heat for most. Those who prefer milder heat can easily use half the Frank's seasoning blend.
  • Ease of prep: Everything roasts in the oven, making cleanup straightforward; a few found the carrot cook time needed an extra 10–15 minutes to reach their preferred tenderness.
  • Suggestions: If you're not a blue cheese fan, ranch dressing works beautifully as a swap. Add a little extra sour cream before pressing on the panko to help the coating adhere and keep the chicken moist. One reviewer adds hot honey to the carrots halfway through roasting for a delicious upgrade 🍯.
  • Portions: A few wished for a starch like mashed potatoes or couscous alongside the two vegetables, especially for heartier appetites.
  • Sides: Roasted carrots were a standout hit; green beans can turn tough or chewy in the oven — steaming them instead is a popular alternative among reviewers.

The fry seasoning was such a great compliment to the carrots I added the remaining seasoning to the green beans. It was delicious. The hubby normally doesn't care for cooked carrots but said how much he liked them in this dish. The crispy and spicy breading on the chicken and blue cheese sauce put this dish over the top. Yum!

This is one of my favorites! Love the buffalo chicken with a slight crunch and the blue cheese sauce. Very tasty, fairly simple to make, and easy cleanup. Will definitely make this again!

The sour cream and breading on the chicken was the perfect amount and the meat was so moist. Enjoyed the seasonings on the carrots and green beans. The blue cheese dressing really compliments the spicy chicken.

We loved the crunch crust and the Buffalo spices on the chicken. Carrots and green beans were good, too. We liked the generous portion of chicken.

This exceeded my expectations. The chicken was moist and was nicely seasoned, not too salty. The quality of the recipes for the beautiful carrots and green beans is spot on. Not mushy or crunchy carrots. The green beans came with savory smoked bacon (so sorry for the vegetarians and vegans). Having raved about the veggies, I'd prefer a slaw instead of carrots and green beans. I'd buy this again.

The carrots tasted like candy. The spice rub and blue cheese plus sour cream dressing is the perfect compliment to the hot and slightly spicy chicken spice mix.

Really good flavor and the breading was crispy. I'm not a blue cheese fan so I added a little more sour cream so it wasn't so pungent. I meal prep so I ate it the next day and it tasted like I had just made it. The coating on the carrots was really good as well. Would definitely order again

Yummy! We have been very pleased with the quality of meat. The chicken alone is flavorful and juicy and this is a great way to add some Buffalo crunch. The Bleu cheese sauce complements the heat perfectly. Or if you have someone who doesn't like spicy, it's very easy to adjust the seasoning. With very little effort, I made one Buffalo and one Italian seasoned. Veggies are simple and flavorful!

Adjust the recipe so that carrots and chicken go in the oven at the same time, and then the chicken will be done at the same time as the green bean additional time completes. Overall flavorful and quite a nice recipe to make.

The green beans were absolutely terrible. They arrived with black spots covering most of the beans and when cooked were mealy and tasted weird. The chicken was good but my family learned they didn't like blue cheese dressing. The carrots and beans took ten or more mins longer than the time given in recipe. They were still quite hard based on the time given. Disappointing meal except the chicken.
