Ingredients

For the Buffalo Chicken Burgers

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup celery, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup white onion, grated with water squeezed out
  • 2 tbsp butter, cold and cut into little chunks or shredded
  • 1 tbsp buffalo sauce, homemade or store-bought
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • ground black pepper

For Serving

  • Butter lettuce
  • 4 hamburger buns of choice, lettuce bun, gluten-free, or regular
  • Green onions, sliced (optional)
  • Buffalo sauce, optional
  • Ranch dressing, optional
  • Blue cheese dressing, optional
  • Blue cheese crumbles, optional

Instructions

  • Combine the burger ingredients : Place all of the burger ingredients in a bowl.
  • Mix : Mix everything together until fully combined.
  • Shape and chill the patties : Form 4 patties, creating an indent in the center of each one. Place the patties on a parchment-lined plate or sheet pan and freeze for 20 minutes.
  • Grill : Cook the patties on a hot grill until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Recipe Notes

  • Oil your hands before shaping: Ground chicken can be sticky. A little olive oil on your hands makes forming the patties easier.
  • Don't skip the freezer step: Chilling the shaped patties for 20 minutes helps them stay intact when you transfer them to the grill.
  • Keep the center indentation: A shallow indentation in each patty helps the burgers maintain a more even shape as they cook.
  • Use a thermometer: Ground chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.
  • Shred the butter and onion: This distributes both ingredients throughout the mixture and helps contribute moisture and flavor to the finished burgers.
