- Remove the top and place the bottom section in a 9x12 inch (23x30 cm) baking dish.

Steps:
- For the burgers: Melt 9 tablespoons of the butter in a pan, then pour it into a measuring cup.
- Put the ground chicken in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of the melted butter, 1 tablespoon of the hot sauce and the salt and pepper. Mix and form into 2 patties.
- Set a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and add the oil to the pan. Add the patties to the pan, turn the heat up to medium and cook until they are browned on the first side, about 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the remaining 8 tablespoons hot sauce into the remaining butter in the measuring cup.
- Flip the patties and put a couple tablespoons of the butter and hot sauce mixture on each. Cook another 4 minutes.
- For the blue cheese dressing: Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese crumbles, vinegar and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Taste and adjust with more vinegar, salt and pepper if needed.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to a skillet and heat over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and the skillet is hot. Add the onion rolls cut-side down and toast until golden, about 2 minutes.
- Flip the patties again, put another couple tablespoons of the butter and hot sauce mixture on each patty and cook until the patties are cooked through, about 2 more minutes.
- Spread a little of the butter and hot sauce mixture on the top and bottom buns. Top each bottom bun with a patty, then some sliced celery, blue cheese dressing, blue cheese crumbles, celery leaves and the top buns. Serve with more blue cheese dressing and the celery sticks.
Tips:
- For the classic Buffalo chicken flavor, use Frank's RedHot sauce. However, you can also experiment with other hot sauces to create different flavor variations.
- To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature. It should reach 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using it in the recipe.
- To get a crispy coating on the chicken, make sure to double-coat it in the flour mixture and egg wash. Also, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken.
- For a healthier version of Buffalo chicken, you can bake it in the oven instead of frying it. Just preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
Conclusion:
Buffalo chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you like it classic, spicy, or baked, there is a Buffalo chicken recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a tasty and easy meal, give Buffalo chicken a try!
