This easy Buffalo Chicken Burgers recipe is packed with flavor and these burgers are a perfect weeknight dinner!
Ingredients
Burger Patties:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup celery finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon buffalo sauce homemade or store-bought
- 1 tablespoon ghee cold and cut into little chunks
Serving Suggestions:
- butter lettuce
- bun of choice lettuce bun, gluten-free, regular
- optional: sliced green onions more buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and/or blue cheese crumbles.
Instructions
- Make Burgers: Put the burger ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix to combine. Separate the mixture into 4 equal balls (putting a little oil on your hands, before doing this, helps a lot) and shape into burger patties.
- Refrigerate (optional): Cover the plate of patties and 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).
- Prep: Preheat grill to 400-450 degrees F. Place a piece of aluminum foil on top of clean grill grates and spray generously with non-stick/avocado oil spray.
- Cook: Place patties on top of the foil and over direct heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side with cover closed or until the internal temp reaches 160-165 degrees F (use a meat thermometer).
- Rest + Serve: Remove from grill and let rest 5-10 minutes. Build your burger and serve any way you want!
Notes
- 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.
- Prep Time: I did not include the optional refrigerator time in the recipe card prep time.
- Paleo/Whole30: Serve with butter lettuce, sliced green onions, compliant buffalo sauce, and compliant salad dressing. Omit blue cheese crumbles.
- Nutrition info is for burgers on a bun. It does not include the optional toppings because amounts will vary.
