He shoots, you score! This winning recipe gets the nod from Nick Suzuki, Montreal Canadiens captain. We can thank Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, for the invention of Buffalo wings—game nights wouldn’t be the same without them. This dish pays homage to this spicy pub menu favourite with an easy pan-seared chicken dinner. Simply glaze the chicken with our fiery Buffalo sauce, and serve it alongside oven-roasted potatoes. Add a cooling salad that includes a dressing of sour cream, chives and feta cheese for that requisite creamy contrast.

Preparation
Roast the potatoes
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Halve the potatoes (quarter if large). On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 20 to 25 min., until browned and tender.
Start the chicken
Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with the remaining spices and S&P. In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken and cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. on one side, until browned and partially cooked.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, thinly slice the chives and radishes. In a small bowl, make the dressing by combining the sour cream, vinegar, ½ the chives, 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Crumble in the cheese; stir well.
Finish the chicken
Flip the chicken and cook, 3 to 4 min., until almost cooked through. Add the Buffalo sauce (add ½ for medium spicy) and 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Cook, spooning the sauce over the chicken*, 3 to 4 min., until glazed and cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Make the salad & serve
In a large bowl, combine the radishes and baby greens. Divide the salad and potatoes between your plates. Top with the chicken. Spoon any remaining Buffalo sauce over the chicken. Garnish with the remaining chives. Serve the dressing on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
