Buffalo Chicken Burgers

[heart_this] · May 22, 2013 · 26 Comments

Buffalo Chicken Burgers

All of the flavours of buffalo chicken wings in burger form with a creamy and tangy blue cheese slaw.

With the warmer weather here I have been thinking about grilling more and burgers definitely come to mind! When I went over all of my burger recipes I noticed a glaring omission; where were the buffalo chicken burgers? I am a huge fan of all things buffalo chicken and it is always a treat to grill up some buffalo chicken burgers in the summer. I like to start my buffalo chicken burgers off by grinding some boneless and skinless chicken in the food processor to which I add some buffalo chicken flavours including carrots, celery, onions and blue cheese in addition to the buffalo hot sauce. In general I like to avoid fillers like egg and breadcrumbs in burgers which means that the patties are a little more delicate but as long as you flip them gently they still hold together quite well. Once the patties are assembled all that is left is to grill them until cooked and slightly charred before serving them up in a bun with your favourite condiments. For buffalo chicken burgers I like to keep the condiments simple and my faourite topping is a blue cheese slaw whether it be a cabbage slaw or as in this case a broccoli slaw. These tasty buffalo chicken burgers are all set to impress at your barbecues this summer!

Buffalo Chicken Burgers
When the burgers are almost done cooking baste them in some more buffalo hot sauce for even more spicy goodness!

Buffalo Chicken Burgers
When you grind your own chicken you know exactly what is in it and just look at that cross section; it almost looks like a solid chicken breast.

Buffalo Chicken Burgers
Feel free to dress these buffalo chicken burgers up any way you like and smothering them in melted cheddar cheese and adding bacon are definitely good ways to go!

    Gaby: It is just a really simple slaw with shredded broccoli along with a bit of carrot and red cabbage in the blue cheese dressing that is linked to in the recipe.

    These were delicious! I used turkey instead of chicken. The burgers were pretty wet when I assembled them so I was worried about how they would hold up on the grill. My husband worked his magic and kept them together! At first I thought I would add some bread crumbs the next time I make these, but they were so delicious and juicy that I don't think I would change a thing. I couldn't make the slaw because my cabbage was questionable, so I topped the burgers with shredded carrots, blue cheese dressing, and Frank's Red Hot. Like I said- delicious! Thanks!

    Stephanie: Glad you liked them! I prefer the texture and moisture of these burgers without the breadcrumbs but you do need to be a bit more gentle with them when flipping on the grill.

    If I only have siriracha hot sauce can it be used instead of the hot sauce you recommened.
    I thank you for your help.

      You can use sriracha, but you will probably want to start with a little less and add more to get it to the desired level of heat.(The flavour will be a little different, but good.)

    Can you cook this on stove top or under the broiler?
