Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Ground chicken (1 pound)
  • Buffalo sauce (1/2 cup, plus extra for serving)
  • Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Tomato (1, sliced)
  • Lettuce (1 cup, shredded)
  • Blue cheese crumbles (1/2 cup)
  • Hamburger buns (4, toasted)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  2. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, ensuring they are slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink during cooking.
  3. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.
  4. Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and they are nicely browned.
  5. While the patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden.
  6. Once cooked, place the patties on the toasted hamburger buns. Top each burger with a generous amount of blue cheese crumbles, followed by shredded lettuce and slices of tomato.
  7. Serve the burgers immediately with extra buffalo sauce on the side for those who crave more heat.
