Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Rub the chicken with olive oil, then season it generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring to coat all sides.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Onion

    Slice the red onion into wedges and place them in the bottom of a roasting pan.

  4. 4

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken on top of the red onion in the roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Add Buffalo Sauce

    In the last 15 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with buffalo sauce to infuse it with flavor.

  6. 6

    Add Bleu Cheese

    Once the chicken is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Crumble bleu cheese over the chicken before serving.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve hot with additional buffalo sauce on the side if desired.
