It’s everything you love about wings, only in burger form!
I want to be outside with the grill going rather than huddled over a deep fryer!
What is a Buffalo Chicken Burger?
Nick Evans
The basics of this burger are simpleit starts off with ground chicken which is very lean.
I also add some hot sauce straight to the patties for some extra flavor!
Grill them up and serve them on a toasted bun withblue cheese sauceand they are an instant summer classic!

You just need to pay attention to a few minor details.
I always take extra care not to overcook the chicken and add ingredients to keep the meat moist.
Here are a few ideas:
Can You Make These in Advance?
Nick Evans
you’re free to absolutely make the patties a day in advance with no problems.
They hold together well in the fridge.
Make the patties, place them in a single layer on a plate and cover with plastic wrap.
Nick Evans
Toss them on the grill when ready.
You could also serve them with agreat side salador even something like curly fries!
Spicy Buffalo Chicken Burgers
Make the blue cheese sauce before you assemble and grill your burgers.
Nick Evans
The sauce can be made up to a week in advance and be stored in the fridge.
Make a double batch if youd like and dip it in veggies or drizzle it over steak, too.
Shape mixture into four evenly-sized patties.
Nick Evans
They should be about 1/2-inch thick.
Alternatively, you’re able to spray the grates with spray oil, but be careful of flare-ups.
Chicken burgers are easy to overcook.
Nick Evans
The instant read thermometer really helps you find the sweet spot of fully cooked but still tender and juicy.
Finished burgers will have grill marks on both sides and be firm to pressure.
Add buns to the grill next to burgers and grill for 30 seconds.
Optionally, you might brush buns with a little butter or oil, but it isnt necessary.
Leftover buffalo chicken burgers keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days.
They reheat really well in the microwave on high for 1 minute.
