The Best Chicken Burgers!

If you're a buffalo chicken wing fan, you'll LOVE these juicy and flavorful Buffalo Chicken Burgers. I love them topped with blue cheese dressing and buffalo wing sauce! DANG good! Get your napkins ready! -Kori

Tender and Juicy Chicken Burgers

These burgers are tender and juicy - not dry and flavorless like previous chicken burgers I've had. The secret to the moisture of these burgers is the sauteed peppers and onions, along with the olive oil.

Like Chicken Wings - Only Better

These buffalo chicken burgers are just as good as chicken wings. Dare we say even better because you can pile all your favorite ingredients on top of the patties and dig in! YUM. 🙂

Don't Have A Grill? Cook on The Stovetop

If you don't have a grill, no problem. Follow the stovetop cooking instruction below. You are basically cooking the burgers over medium heat for approximately 4 to 5 minutes on each side until they reach the appropriate temperature. That's it! 

Low Carb and Keto Burgers

These are perfect low carb and keto burgers!! This burger is tasty wrapped in lettuce, or served on top of a grilled portobello mushroom, or sandwiched in between a chaffle. Make sure to use a sugar-free keto buffalo sauce.

How To Make This Recipe for Buffalo Chicken Burgers

• In a small skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, saute onions and bell pepper over medium-high heat until soft. Set aside and let cool.
• In a large bowl, add ground chicken, onion and pepper mixture, egg, buffalo seasoning, blue cheese crumbles, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
• Cut parchment paper or foil into 4 squares so that each formed burger will fit. Spray the pieces with nonstick spray and set them aside.

• Form 4  burgers that are ½" thick, pressing mixture together as firmly as you can. Note: the mixture will be soft and sticky.
• Lay each burger on the parchment pieces and refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove burgers from the refrigerator about 5 minutes before cooking.
• Preheat grill on high heat 450 to 500 degrees. Set a heavy-duty piece of foil that has been pierced with holes and sprayed with nonstick spray.
• Peel the burgers from the parchment pieces and place them on the foil—grill for 4 minutes.
• Flip and cook an additional 4 to 6 minutes, or until the burger temperature reaches 160 degrees—set burgers on a plate and cover with foil. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
