Blue Cheese Chicken Burgers

Easy

These burgers are a delicious riff on Buffalo chicken wings. The patties get brushed with zesty barbecue sauce and topped with crumbled blue cheese. If you like your food spicy, give the lettuce and tomato a few dashes of hot sauce before you dig in. Feel free to save half a bun by serving the burgers open-face style, or lose the bread entirely by sandwiching the patties and all the fixings between two crisp lettuce leaves.

Ingredients

  • 4 sprays cooking spray
  • ¼ cup barbecue sauce
  • 1½ tsp hot pepper sauce, or to taste
  • 1 pound 98% fat-free uncooked ground chicken breast
  • ½ cup uncooked scallions, sliced
  • ¼ cup uncooked celery, chopped
  • ¼ cup dried plain breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • ½ tsp table salt
  • 4 light hamburger buns
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 1 large fresh tomato, cut into 8 slices
  • 2 tbsp blue cheese, crumbled


Instructions

  1. Off heat, coat the grill rack or grill pan with nonstick spray. Preheat gas grill or grill pan to medium-high, or prepare a medium-high fire on a charcoal grill.
  2. In a small bowl, combine barbecue sauce and hot sauce. In a medium bowl, combine chicken, scallions, celery, breadcrumbs, garlic, and salt. Using wet hands (to prevent the meat from sticking), form chicken into 4 (1⁄2-inch-thick) patties. Brush the tops of the patties with half of the sauce.
  3. Transfer the patties to the grill, sauce-side down, and brush the tops of the patties with the remaining sauce. Grill, turning once until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F when inserted horizontally into patties, about 10 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, grill rolls until lightly toasted.
  4. Build burgers with rolls, lettuce, patties, tomato slices, and cheese.
  5. Serving Size: 1 burger!
