Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the blue cheese dressing and buffalo sauce. Set it aside.
- Combine the ground chicken and chicken wing seasoning, then measure out the seasoned chicken into eight 2 ounce balls of meat.
- Heat a griddle over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil to the griddle and place the buns face-down on the griddle.
- Toast the hamburger buns for approximately 1 minute, or until browned around the edges.
- Remove the buns from the griddle, spread the buffalo blue cheese sauce on the bottom bun and top with sliced jalapenos, onions and shredded lettuce. Set aside.
- Turn the heat on the griddle up to high.
- Place each of the balls of seasoned chicken on the hot griddle. Place a piece of parchment paper on each ball of chicken, then use the back of a large spatula to smash the ground chicken into flattened burger patties. Cook for 1 minute.
- Flip the burgers and place a piece of cheese on half of the burger patties. Cook for 1 minute.
- Place the other burger patties, not topped with cheese, on top of the cheese-topped burger patties.
- Cook for 30 seconds, then remove the burgers from the griddle and place them on the prepared buns.
Notes
- To make this chicken burger recipe “protein style”, ditch the bun and replace it with two large leaves of iceberg lettuce. This is also a great option to make the burger gluten-free and low carb.
- If you don’t have a griddle, you can make the burgers in a skillet. Depending on the size of your skillet, you’ll probably only be able to fit 2, or maybe 4, burger patties in the skillet at a time. I recommend a large cast iron skillet, or cast iron griddle pan if you have one available. A cast iron skillet can be used on the stove, or on a grill, to make these burgers.
