Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, carrots, celery, hot sauce, salt, garlic, and black pepper. Shape mixture into four evenly-sized patties. They should be about 1/2-inch thick.
- Preheat the grill for direct heat grilling, by turning gas burners to medium-high or spreading charcoal coals so there is direct heat under the grilling grates. The temperature should be 450-500˚F.,To make sure the burgers do not stick, dip a kitchen towel or some paper towels in oil and use tongs to quickly rub down grill grates. Alternatively, you can spray the grates with spray oil, but be careful of flare-ups.
- Grill the buffalo chicken burgers, about 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach at least 165˚F in the center of the burgers.,Chicken burgers are easy to overcook. 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 can brush buns with a little butter or oil, but it isn’t necessary.
- Serve the burgers on grilled potato buns with butter lettuce, blue cheese sauce, and an extra splash of Franks hot sauce.
- 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.
