This Buffalo chicken burgers with blue cheese dressing recipe delivers the bold flavors of Buffalo wings minus the mess and calories. Serve them with additional hot sauce on the side.
Ingredients:
¼ cup light sour cream
¼ cup reduced-fat blue cheese crumbles
¼ teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 ½ pounds ground chicken
¼ cup hot pepper sauce
½ teaspoon celery salt (optional)
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
cooking spray
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
4 kaiser rolls, split
4 leaves iceberg lettuce
½ cup diced celery
Directions:
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Combine sour cream, blue cheese, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl; set aside.
Combine chicken, 1/4 cup hot sauce, celery salt, paprika, poultry seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a bowl until well mixed; form into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
Cook on the preheated grill until grill marks appear, 6 to 7 minutes; flip burgers. Coat top rolls with cooking spray; lightly toast on grill if desired. Brush cooked side of burgers with 1 tablespoon hot sauce; cook until no longer pink in centers and juices run clear, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Place 1 lettuce leaf each on bottom rolls; top each with 1 burger, 2 tablespoons blue cheese sauce, 2 tablespoons celery, and top roll.
