main meals | These burgers are Buffalo chicken wing knock-offs. They're brushed with a spicy BBQ sauce and then topped with crumbled blue cheese. Amazing flavor
Ingredients

  • 2 spray(s) cooking spray
  • 1/4 cup(s) barbecue sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce, or to taste
  • 1 pound(s) uncooked extra lean ground chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup(s) uncooked scallion(s), sliced
  • 1/4 cup(s) uncooked celery, chopped
  • 1/4 cup(s) dried plain bread crumbs, plain-variety
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp table salt
  • 4 item(s) mixed-grain hamburger roll(s)
  • 2 cup(s) romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 1 large fresh tomato(es), cut into 8 slices
  • 2 Tbsp blue cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  • Off heat, coat a grill or grill pan with cooking spray; preheat to medium-high.
  • In a small bowl, combine barbecue sauce and hot pepper sauce. In a medium bowl, combine chicken, 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce mixture, scallion, celery, bread crumbs, garlic and salt. Using wet hands (to prevent mixture from sticking), form chicken mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties; brush top of burgers with some remaining barbecue sauce mixture.
  • Place burgers on grill, sauce side down; brush tops of burgers with remaining sauce. Grill, turning once, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Lightly toast open-faced buns on grill during buns on grill during last minute of cooking.

  • To serve, place 4 bun bottoms on each of 4 plates. Top each with 1/2 cup of shredded lettuce, 2 tomato slices, a burger, 1/2 tablespoon of cheese and a bun top (cheese will melt a little from hot burger). Yields 1 burger per serving.

  • Notes
    If you like your food really spicy, give the lettuce and tomato a few shots of hot sauce.
