Such a fun combination of flavors in a burger!!

Alright you guys – you know I am a huge fan of all things Buffalo Sauce, so when the idea popped into my head to make a Buffalo Chicken Burger I knew it needed to happen ASAP! And Primal Kitchen just so happens to make an EPIC store-bought Buffalo Sauce to make things that much easier.  I swear I pour this stuff over everything! If I am not making Buffalo Burgers I am roasting some chicken wings in the oven and tossing them in this (another easy weeknight dinner go-to in our house!).  Cannot wait for you guys to try these (and p.s. they make amazing leftovers). Happy Grilling!

Recipe Features:

• Easy – Toss the ingredients in a bowl, mix, throw them on the grill and dinner is ready! Simple and easy to make!
• Delicious – Can you really beat the flavors of Buffalo Sauce, Chicken, Ranch and Celery? All packed together in a delicious burger – these are going to be your new favorite burger!
• Clean Ingredients – Love that there are no weird ingredients in these delicious burgers – including the Buffalo Sauce and Ranch Dressing! Being able to read ALL of the ingredients I am putting into my body is always a personal goal of mine and this recipe does just that! I also happens to be Whole30/Paleo!

What You Will Need:

Patties:

• Ground Chicken: I would recommend using a less lean ground chicken
• Egg: this helps bind the ground chicken together into patties
• Almond Flour: this also helps bind the patties together
• Spices: onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt – for flavor!
• Celery: You can’t have buffalo sauce without celery!
• Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce – such an amazing Buffalo Sauce! And even better that the ingredients are so clean!
• Ghee: to help add a little more fat into the chicken patties so they don’t dry out

Serving:

• Butter Lettuce: Love making little lettuce buns out of butter lettuce!
• Green Onions: Slice these up and sprinkle on top!
• Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce: For dipping and drizzling
• Primal Kitchen Ranch Dressing: For dipping and drizzling (I actually prefer the Vegan Ranch!)

Step By Step Instructions:

1. Combine: Add ingredients to medium mixing bowl and mix to combine.
2. Patties: Separate into 4 equal balls (putting a little oil on your hands helps a lot) and shape into patties.
3. Refrigerate (optional): Place in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to cool (this step is not required, but the patties will stay together better as you transfer them to the grill if you do this).
4. Preheat: Preheat grill to 400-450 degrees.
5. Prep Foil: Place a piece of foil on top of clean grill grates and spray generously with non-stick/avocado oil spray.
6. Patties: Place patties on top of the foil and over direct heat.
7. Cook: Cook for 5-7 minutes per side with cover closed or until the internal temp reaches 165.
8. Remove: Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes.
9. Serve: Serve with butter lettuce, sliced green onions, Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce and Primal Kitchen Ranch Dressing.

Tips and FAQs:

• Ground Chicken: Ground chicken can be pretty wet and sticky – to help with this you can do to mitigate this:
  • Oil on Hands: Put some olive oil on your hands when forming the patties
  • Patties in Refrigerator: Once the patties are made, place them on a plate and cover with foil. Place in the refrigerator for about 30-60 minutes.  You do not NEED to do this, but it will help with the patties keeping their shape.
• Transferring Patties: I used a small metal spatula to transfer the patties from the plate to the grill.
• Grilling on Foil: the second time I tested these I did the first 7 minutes on the foil and then the when I flipped them over I placed them on (very clean, oiled) grill grates over direct heat for the second 7 minutes. This resulted in some nice grill marks on one side of the patties.
• Leftovers: These make amazing leftovers!! Simply store in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

What to Serve with Buffalo Chicken Burgers:

1. Grilled Sweet Corn
2. Grilled Potato Wedges
3. Jalapeno Margarita Mocktail
