Buffalo Chicken Burgers with Blue Cheese Dressing

Ground chicken patties spiked with hot sauce and topped with a quick blue cheese dressing for all the flavor of buffalo wings on a bun.

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 lbs ground chicken
• 3 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
• 3 ribs celery, finely chopped
• 3 scallions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 4 crusty rolls or burger buns, split
• Romaine lettuce leaves and tomato slices, for serving

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, 1 tablespoon hot sauce, half the celery, the scallions, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 patties.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties until browned and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
3. Stir together the melted butter and remaining 2 tablespoons hot sauce; brush over the cooked patties.
4. Make the dressing: mash the blue cheese with the sour cream, vinegar, remaining celery, salt, and pepper.
5. Build the burgers on the buns with lettuce, tomato, the buffalo patties, and a generous spoonful of blue cheese dressing.
