Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 0.25 cup buffalo sauce
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 0.25 cup blue cheese dressing
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces sliced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup extra buffalo sauce for topping (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, 1/4 cup buffalo sauce, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the chicken patties in the pan.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the heat and let rest for a few minutes.
Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired, on the same skillet or in a toaster.
Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bottom half of each bun. Add the cooked chicken patty on top.
Drizzle a tablespoon of blue cheese dressing over each patty. If desired, add a splash of extra buffalo sauce for more heat.
Top with the other half of each bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your Buffalo Chicken Burgers with your favorite side dishes!
