lil carb Buffalo Chicken Burgers

Watch me make this recipe!

It's burger time!  If you like buffalo wings you are going to love my latest creation!  With just a couple fresh ingredients you can create a flavorful, juicy

burger in under half an hour.  I think that making these burgers indoors is the best way because the meat mixture is wet and sticky so on grill grates it might not work. I love using my grill pan or a cast iron skillet!

lil carb Buffalo Chicken Burgers- Makes 4 burgers

Burger
1 lb ground chicken
1/4 cup diced celery
Pinch of salt

Sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp buffalo sauce ( I use Franks )
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp black pepper

Serving
4 slices of blue cheese I use Castello Brand OR about 1 cup of blue cheese crumbles

2 cups of tightly packed arugula
______________
Pre heat a grill pan on high and spray with cooking spray OR heat a cast iron skillet to medium/medium high heat and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Combine all the Sauce ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.

Side 1

Side 2

In a large bowl combine the Burger ingredients.
Then add in 1/4 cup of sauce to the burger mixture. Mix with your hands. Add in another 1/8 cup of the sauce and mix until everything is combined. (I know it sounds like a weird amount of sauce but trust me - it is perfect)

Portion out the chicken mixture into 4 equal amounts (the mixture will be very sticky- that's normal) and drop them onto the skillet or grill pan and very carefully pat them down until they are burger shapes and all about the same thickness.

Cook for 8 minutes per side. Once you flip them over top with blue cheese- either about 1/4 cup crumbles or one slice per burger.

To assemble I like to start with a bed of 1/2 cup of arugula with a dollop of sauce, then top with a burger and drizzle with some more sauce for dipping. ENJOY!
