Buffalo Blues Chicken Burgers Food

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED BUFFALO CHICKEN BURGER

Steps:

• 1) Mix the ground chicken with green onions and garlic. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but up to 24 hours.
• 2) When you are ready to eat: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wet your hands with cool water and gather 1/8 of the chicken mixture. Shape it into a sort of nest and place one heaping tablespoon of blue cheese into the center, then cover with 1/8 more chicken and shape into a patty. Repeat with the remaining chicken. You will have 4 burgers. They can be placed back into the fridge for up to a day (in which case, turn the oven off), or cook immediately. Drizzle a scant amount of veg oil over both sides of the burgers and a light sprinkle of salt then line a baking tray with foil and bake for 15 minutes, douse both sides with Buffalo sauce and flip the burgers. Continue to bake for 15 more minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the burgers to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
• Serve on soft hamburger buns with shredded lettuce and Ranch dressing. Makes 4 burgers

BUFFALO CHICKEN BURGERS

Steps:

• For the burgers: Melt 9 tablespoons of the butter in a pan, then pour it into a measuring cup.
• Put the ground chicken in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of the melted butter, 1 tablespoon of the hot sauce and the salt and pepper. Mix and form into 2 patties.
• Set a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and add the oil to the pan. Add the patties to the pan, turn the heat up to medium and cook until they are browned on the first side, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the remaining 8 tablespoons hot sauce into the remaining butter in the measuring cup.
• Flip the patties and put a couple tablespoons of the butter and hot sauce mixture on each. Cook another 4 minutes.
• For the blue cheese dressing: Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese crumbles, vinegar and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Taste and adjust with more vinegar, salt and pepper if needed.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to a skillet and heat over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and the skillet is hot. Add the onion rolls cut-side down and toast until golden, about 2 minutes.
• Flip the patties again, put another couple tablespoons of the butter and hot sauce mixture on each patty and cook until the patties are cooked through, about 2 more minutes.
• Spread a little of the butter and hot sauce mixture on the top and bottom buns. Top each bottom bun with a patty, then some sliced celery, blue cheese dressing, blue cheese crumbles, celery leaves and the top buns. Serve with more blue cheese dressing and the celery sticks.
