Description

This recipe for Buffalo chicken burgers with blue cheese dressing packs the bold, tangy kick of Buffalo wings without the usual mess or extra calories.

Ingredients

1/4 cup light sour cream
1/4 cup reduced fat blue cheese crumbles
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
1/4 cup hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
cooking spray
1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
4 Kaiser rolls, split
4 leaves iceberg lettuce
1/2 cup diced celery

Directions

1 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2 Combine sour cream, blue cheese, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl; set aside.
3 Combine chicken, 1/4 cup hot sauce, celery salt, paprika, poultry seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a bowl until well mixed; form into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
4 Cook on the preheated grill until grill marks appear, 6 to 7 minutes; flip burgers. Coat top rolls with cooking spray; lightly toast on grill if desired. Brush cooked side of burgers with 1 tablespoon hot sauce; cook until no longer pink in centers and juices run clear, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
5 Place 1 lettuce leaf each on bottom rolls; top each with 1 burger, 2 tablespoons blue cheese sauce, 2 tablespoons celery, and top roll.
