If you love bold flavors with a little kick, this dish is sure to satisfy your cravings. It combines tender chicken with spicy buffalo sauce for a comforting twist on a classic favorite.
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan with cooking spray. Take the chicken sausage out of its casing and toss it into a big bowl along with the ground chicken. Chop up the green onions, celery, jalapenos, and white onion, then set aside about a quarter cup of each for topping later. Add the rest of the veggies to the meat mixture.
Next, crumble in most of the blue cheese (save a little for sprinkling on top), then add the bread crumbs, half a cup of Buffalo wing sauce, eggs, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until it’s well combined and the veggies are evenly spread throughout. Press the mixture into your prepared loaf pan.
Spread the remaining Buffalo wing sauce over the top, then sprinkle on the reserved veggies and the rest of the blue cheese. Pop the meatloaf in the oven and bake for about an hour and a half, or until the edges start to bubble and pull away from the pan. To be sure it’s done, check that the internal temperature hits 165°F (74°C). Let it rest a few minutes before slicing and serving.
- Use fresh ground chicken for the best texture and flavor.
- Don’t overmix the meat to keep the meatloaf tender.
- Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing to help it hold together.
This dish combines the comforting texture of meatloaf with a bold, spicy kick. It’s perfect for those who enjoy classic flavors with a little heat. Plus, it’s an easy way to switch up your usual dinner routine.
Serve with a side of creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing to balance the spice. Pair it with roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad for a complete meal. Mashed potatoes or rice also work well to soak up extra sauce.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to keep it moist. You can also freeze slices wrapped tightly for up to 2 months.
