Buffalo Chicken Meatloaf : Bold, Zesty, and Perfectly Saucy

Instructions

For the Meatloaf

  • 1 ½ lbs ground chicken

  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs / crushed pork rinds)

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery

  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

  • 1 large egg

  • 1/3 cup Buffalo hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing

  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt (or to taste)

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For Topping (Optional but Delicious)

  • More ranch or blue cheese dressing

  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

  • Sliced green onions

Notes

  • Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

  • Mix the Meatloaf
    In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, celery, green onions, egg, Buffalo sauce, garlic powder, dressing, salt, and pepper.
    Mix gently until just combined — avoid overmixing to keep it tender.

  • Shape & Bake
    Transfer the mixture to your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
    Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center reaches 165°F (74°C).

  • Rest & Finish
    Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
    Drizzle with extra dressing, sprinkle with blue cheese and green onions (if using), and serve warm.
