Buffalo Chicken Pasta With Blue Cheese Recipes

BUFFALO CHICKEN PASTA WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, do not rinse, and set aside.
• In another large saucepan, heat the heavy cream, hot pepper sauce, garlic, black pepper and cayenne, if using, over medium heat, stirring until well blended. Season to taste with salt. Add hot pasta and chicken and stir until well coated and warmed through.
• Remove the pasta from the heat and stir in blue cheese and scallions. Serve immediately.

BUFFALO CHICKEN PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the rotini, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Stir together the mayonnaise, blue cheese dressing, buffalo wing sauce, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and cooked pasta and toss to coat with the dressing. Cover and chill at least 1 hour in the refrigerator before serving.

BUFFALO CHICKEN & BLUE CHEESE SLAW

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Lay the chicken skin-side up in a roasting tin. Slash the skin of the chicken with a sharp knife, then season and roast for 35 mins.
• Mix together the hot sauce, paprika, sugar, vinegar, garlic powder and butter in a pan. Stir over a low heat until the butter has melted, then simmer for 1 min. Season. Tip away any excess juices and fat from the roasting tin, then pour in half the sauce. Return to the oven for 20 mins until cooked through. Turn the oven to the highest temperature and add the remaining sauce. Cook for 5 mins.
• Crumble the cheese into a bowl and mix through the soured cream, mayo, chives and lemon juice. Toss the apple with the celery, cabbage and the cheese sauce. Serve the chicken alongside the slaw.
