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
- 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.
- Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, ensuring they are slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink during cooking.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.
- 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.
- While the patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden.
- 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.
- Serve the burgers immediately with extra buffalo sauce on the side for those who crave more heat.
Tips
- For a milder burger, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce mixed into the chicken or choose a milder buffalo sauce.
- Try adding sliced avocado or jalapeños for an extra twist.
- Serve with sweet potato fries or coleslaw for a complete meal.
