BUFFALO CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS WITH CELERY SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper. Rinse chicken and pat dry thoroughly. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken in a single layer and bake for 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl add apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, Dijon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk together and toss dressing with celery, red onion, and parsley. Keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.
• After roasting chicken for 25 minutes, heat broiler and cook chicken for 5 minutes more, watching carefully to avoid burning. Meanwhile, in a large pot over medium heat add butter, hot sauce, blue cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; whisk until butter and cheese are melted. Reserve half of the sauce for garnish. Toss chicken in the pot with remaining buffalo sauce.

BUFFALO DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Rinse and pat dry the drumsticks. Mix the oil, chili powder, garlic powder, and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl or resealable plastic bag. Toss the drumsticks in the seasoned oil to coat well. Bake the drumsticks on a wire rack placed on a baking sheet (so air circulates around chicken) until very tender and the skin is crisp, 50 minutes.
• For the spicy sauce: Mix together the butter, hot sauce and BBQ sauce in a large bowl.
• Toss the drumsticks in the spicy sauce until well coated. Place the drumsticks back on the rack and continue baking an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
• Cook's Note: For an alternate milder sauce, whisk together 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon hot sauce, juice and zest of 1 lime, 1 clove of garlic, minced and some salt and pepper.
