- Milk
- Wheat
Are you the type of person who only goes to game nights on the off chance that Buffalo wings will be served? 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, Buffalo-spiced panko breadcrumbs. It’s roasted to juicy crunchiness, then drizzled with creamy, tangy sauce. Oh, and did we mention there are buttery roasted green beans and creamy 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 (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Trim green beans if necessary. • In a small bowl, combine half the sour cream (you’ll use the rest later), ½ tsp Frank’s Seasoning (1 tsp for 4), and a big pinch of salt. (Be sure to measure the Frank’s Seasoning—you’ll use the rest in the next step.) Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
• Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a medium microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30-45 seconds. • Stir in panko, Monterey Jack, remaining Frank’s Seasoning, and a big pinch of salt and pepper.
• Dice potatoes into 1⁄2-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 1⁄2 cup potato cooking liquid, then drain. • Add a drizzle of oil and scallion whites to empty pot over low heat; cook until softened, 1 minute. • Return drained potatoes to pot; mash with remaining sour cream and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• 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. (For 4 servings, spread chicken out across entire sheet.) • Mound tops of chicken with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere (no need to coat the undersides).
• Toss green beans on opposite side of sheet from chicken with a large drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, toss green beans on a second sheet. Roast chicken on top rack and green beans on middle rack.) • Roast on top rack until chicken is golden brown and cooked through and green beans are tender, 15-18 minutes. TIP: If green beans are done before chicken, remove from sheet and continue roasting chicken.
• Transfer roasted green beans to a large bowl; toss with 1 TBSP butter until melted. • Divide green beans, potatoes, and chicken between plates. Drizzle chicken with creamy Buffalo sauce and honey (or serve both on the side for dipping). Garnish potatoes with scallion greens and serve.

Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the spicy-sweet combo of buffalo seasoning and honey drizzle, though some found it too spicy 🌶️.
- Ease of prep: Generally easy to make, though a few noted it took longer than expected, especially for first-timers.
- Suggestions: Consider pounding chicken for tenderness; adjust spice level to taste by using less seasoning if desired.
- Portions: Some wished for larger chicken portions or more green beans to feel fully satisfied.
- Texture: Crispy, crunchy chicken coating was a hit; roast green beans longer for better texture.
Reviews from our home cooks
The flavor of the crispy topping and sauce was amazing! The buffalo seasoning added the perfect amount of kick. The chicken itself was tender and juicy. Didn't love the flavor of the potatoes, but I am picky about the types of potatoes I'll eat. Everything was fresh and easy!
We really liked this one! The breading on the chicken was so good. It was cheesy spicy and crispy. The buffalo sauce and honey was a perfect combo with the cheesy crispy chicken
I have learned how to adapt your recipes to my two drawer air fryer. Also I learned to LOVE air fried carrots thanks to you so added to green beans. Came out great ... love the buffalo sauce and the crispy crust on the chicken.
Yummy take on Buffalo chicken, using Frank's powdered seasoning. Did not have the same flavor as Frank's Hot Sauce, but was still excellent in the sour cream based drizzle. I was able to make one of the servings mild by adjusting seasoning, so if you have heat-lovers and those who don't tolerate spice, you can def make this work.
The flavors were good, but there was not enough breading provided to cover both chicken cutlets. If I had not had panko and seasonings to complement the buffalo flavor on hand in my pantry, the meat would have been plain and not crispy. In addition, the instructions are incomplete. Without a flour coating, then an egg wash, and THEN the breading - all the breading will fall off the meat. I followed the HelloFresh directions, and most of the breading was left behind on the plate when cutting off a piece of chicken to eat.
Not a quick and easy meal but super delish. The cutlets get very crispy and taste fried! We love the green beans but do wish there were more of them. We always want more so I buy some from the store when we get this meal to go along with it
We were really impressed with the flavor of the Buffalo spiced crispy chicken:). The green beans turned out really well. The mashed potatoes were just sort of plain.
Very tasty! My mouth is wimpy so I left the Franks seasoning out of the panko mixture that tops the chicken and put the whole seasoning packet in the buffalo sauce instead. My husband enjoyed the buffalo sauce on the chicken while my wimpy mouth loved the chicken without the spice. Will be happy to order this again.
Wasn't sure if I would like the "buffalo" element, as it may have been too spicy. But this was just right: spicy but not overpowering. The mashed potatoes with scallions was a real treat, and the green beans cooked in the oven were a really nice "gourmet" touch!
The chicken was delicious, and I loved the inclusion of the green beans and mashed potatoes. I would absolutely love to have this meal again! I would like a little more ingredients to be provided to make a larger portion of the sauce, as for our two cutlets we did not have much sauce to apply.
