Buffalo Chicken Burgers

Buffalo Chicken Burgers

My oldest son and I especially love buffalo sauce and seasoning.  These chicken burgers topped with a blue cheese sauce were popping with flavor and simple to make.

Recipe adapted from Food Network

Ingredients:

2 pounds lean ground chicken

2 stalks celery

½ small onion

1 green pepper

1 cup whole wheat panko breadcrumbs

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons buffalo seasoning

¼ cup mild buffalo sauce

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Blue cheese Sauce-

2 ounces crumbed blue cheese

½ cup buttermilk

½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Sliced cheese smoked gouda or other cheese

Serve on a bun or a tortilla wrap with lettuce, tomato, bell peppers, etc..

Directions:

  1. Preheat a grill to high heat.

2. Add finely chopped celery, onion, chicken, breadcrumbs, buffalo sauce, eggs, seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce to a large bowl.  Use a masher to mix together.

3. Divide into 8 patties. 

4. Place patties in the freezer to firm while the grill preheats.

5. Spray grill with nonstick spray.  These cook best on a flat grill surface so they can be flipped.

6. Mix the blue cheese, buttermilk, yogurt, lemon juice, and garlic powder in a medium bowl.

7. Grill burgers for 4-5 minutes per side.  Add sliced cheese the last minute of cooking time.

8. Serve on a bun or wrap with lettuce, tomato, blue cheese sauce, and buffalo sauce.

Enjoy!
