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 lb 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

Off heat, coat grill rack or grill pan with nonstick spray. Preheat a gas grill or grill pan to medium-high, or prepare a medium-high fire in a charcoal grill.
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 tops of patties with half of the sauce.
Transfer patties to grill, sauce-side down, and brush tops of patties with 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.
Build burgers with rolls, lettuce, patties, tomato slices, and cheese.
