Buffalo chicken burgers {Secret Recipe Club}
It's time for April's Secret Recipe Club Reveal. This month I was assigned to make a recipe from The Avid Appetite. This blog is written by Rachel from New Jersey. Her blog started out as mostly a food and recipe blog but now has expanded to include all aspects of her life. There were a lot of recipes that caught my eye like her Gingerbread Coffee Syrup and Pineapple Chicken with Couscous. But, being a Buffalo girl, I decided that I wanted to give her Buffalo Chicken Burgers a try. At first I wasn't sure I'd be able to make them because I couldn't find any blue cheese made with pasteurized milk (raw cheese is currently on my can't eat list). But I finally found some at Aldi! What I especially liked about her burgers was that she used the correct hot sauce (gotta be Frank's) and blue cheese (I love ranch as much as the next person, but it doesn't belong on anything called "Buffalo") - so I knew these burgers would be winners! I was right. They were delicious and full of that Buffalo chicken wing flavor.
I slightly modified April's recipe and my version is below. This recipe will make four burgers. I served them with celery sticks and oven fries.
Buffalo chicken burgers
1 lb ground chicken
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
Frank's red hot sauce, to taste
crumbled blue cheese
mayonnaise, optional
lettuce, optional
4 kaiser (or hard rolls) split and toasted
In a large mixing bowl, mix the chicken, a couple pinches of salt, and couple grinds of black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and celery seed until combined. Form the chicken into 4 equal patties and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Grill the burgers until the chicken is cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and brush with the hot sauce. Place on the roll and top with blue cheese. Add mayo and lettuce, if using.
What was I cooking one year ago?: spicy tofu & pinto beans (Sofritas)
Two years ago?: chicken chop suey
Three years ago?: stir-fried squid & baby bok choy
Four?: carrot cake pancakes
Five?: Brazilian shrimp stew
6?: shepherd's pie
