Classic Buffalo Chicken Burgers with Blue Cheese Slaw

Classic Buffalo Chicken Burgers with Blue Cheese Slaw
Growing up in Buffalo, New York, I’ve always had a soft spot for anything with that signature spicy-tangy flavor, but sometimes you want something a bit more substantial than wings. That’s how these Buffalo chicken burgers came to be—they’re my go-to when I’m craving those classic flavors but want a proper meal that doesn’t require a mountain of napkins.

Ingredients

– 1 ½ pounds ground chicken (preferably 85/15 blend for juiciness)
– ½ cup Frank’s RedHot sauce (the authentic Buffalo choice)
– ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese (bold and tangy)
– ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs (light and crispy)
– 1 large egg (farm-fresh and room temperature)
– 2 cloves garlic (freshly minced)
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (rich and aromatic)
– ½ teaspoon kosher salt (coarse and flaky)
– ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
– 4 brioche burger buns (soft and slightly sweet)
– 2 cups shredded green cabbage (crisp and fresh)
– ½ cup shredded carrots (sweet and colorful)
– ¼ cup mayonnaise (creamy and rich)
– 2 tablespoons sour cream (tangy and smooth)
– 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (bright and acidic)
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (delicate and oniony)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ pounds ground chicken, ¼ cup Frank’s RedHot sauce, ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese, ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
2. Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat—this keeps the burgers tender.
3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into ¾-inch thick patties, pressing a slight dimple in the center of each to prevent bulging during cooking.
4. Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat (400°F) and lightly oil the cooking surface.
5. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior develops a golden-brown crust.
6. While the burgers cook, whisk together ¼ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and remaining ¼ cup Frank’s RedHot sauce in a medium bowl.
7. Add 2 cups shredded green cabbage, ½ cup shredded carrots, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives to the dressing, tossing until evenly coated.
8. Lightly toast the 4 brioche buns on the grill or in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden around the edges.
9. Brush the cooked burger patties with additional Frank’s RedHot sauce for extra kick right before assembling.
10. Assemble burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun bottom, topping generously with blue cheese slaw, and finishing with the bun top. Every bite delivers that perfect crunch from the slaw against the juicy, spicy chicken patty. I love serving these with extra hot sauce for dipping and crispy sweet potato fries on the side—the cool, tangy slaw really balances the heat in the most satisfying way.

  5. Grill the patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior has visible grill marks.
  6. While the burgers cook, whisk together ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon celery seeds in a medium bowl to create the celery salad dressing.

Buffalo Chicken Burgers with Homemade Hot Sauce

Buffalo Chicken Burgers with Homemade Hot Sauce

Every time I’m craving that perfect balance of spicy and savory, these Buffalo chicken burgers come to mind—they’re my go-to for game day gatherings or when I need a quick dinner that feels special. I actually started making these after my husband declared store-bought hot sauce too vinegary, which led me to create my own from scratch.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken (preferably 93% lean for juiciness)
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce (for that classic tangy base)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (rich, creamy, and high-quality)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (bold and tangy)
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar (crisp and clear)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (aromatic and finely ground)
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (for a subtle smoky depth)
  • 4 brioche burger buns (soft, buttery, and golden)
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce (fresh and crunchy)
  • 1/2 cup matchstick-cut carrots (sweet and crisp)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery (refreshingly crisp)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter completely, about 2–3 minutes, until it’s liquid and bubbling slightly.
  2. Whisk in 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce, 2 tbsp white vinegar, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika until fully combined and simmering, about 1 minute. Tip: Simmering melds the flavors—don’t boil it or the sauce may separate.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the hot sauce cool to room temperature, roughly 10 minutes, while you prepare the chicken.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 lb ground chicken with 1/4 cup of the cooled homemade hot sauce, using your hands to mix gently until just incorporated. Tip: Overmixing can make the burgers tough, so stop as soon as it’s uniform.
  5. Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty, pressing a slight dimple in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.
  6. Heat a grill or skillet to medium-high (about 375°F) and cook the patties for 5–6 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is lightly charred. Tip: Use a meat thermometer for accuracy—undercooked chicken isn’t safe, but overcooking dries it out.
  7. Brush the cooked patties with the remaining homemade hot sauce and let them rest for 3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  8. Toast the 4 brioche burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes.
  9. Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun bottom, then topping with 1/4 cup shredded iceberg lettuce, 2 tbsp matchstick-cut carrots, 2 tbsp thinly sliced celery, and 1 tbsp crumbled blue cheese per burger.

Keep these burgers juicy by serving them immediately—the crisp veggies and creamy blue cheese balance the heat, while the soft brioche soaks up every bit of that spicy sauce. I love pairing them with extra carrot sticks and a cold beer for a meal that’s messy in the best way.

Buffalo Chicken Burgers with Carrot and Celery Slaw

Buffalo Chicken Burgers with Carrot and Celery Slaw

Yesterday, I was craving that classic Buffalo wing flavor but wanted something more substantial than finger food—something I could really sink my teeth into for dinner. That’s when inspiration struck for these juicy burgers that capture all the zesty, tangy goodness of Buffalo wings in a handheld meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken (preferably 85/15 blend for optimal juiciness)
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce (the classic Buffalo wing essential)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (sharp and tangy)
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (for light crispiness)
  • 1 large egg (farm-fresh, for binding)
  • 2 cloves garlic (freshly minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (for subtle warmth)
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed (earthy and aromatic)
  • 2 medium carrots (crisp and sweet, julienned)
  • 2 celery stalks (fresh and crunchy, thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (creamy and tangy)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (bright and acidic)
  • 1 teaspoon honey (pure and golden)
  • 4 brioche burger buns (soft and buttery)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for rich basting)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound ground chicken, 1/4 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce, 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese, 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon celery seed.
  2. Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat to avoid tough burgers.
  3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a 3/4-inch thick patty, pressing a slight dimple in the center of each to prevent bulging during cooking.
  4. Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F) and lightly oil the cooking surface.
  5. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
  6. During the last minute of cooking, brush the patties with 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter mixed with the remaining 1/4 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce for a glossy, flavorful finish.
  7. While the burgers cook, prepare the slaw by whisking together 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon honey in a medium bowl until smooth.
  8. Add 2 julienned carrots and 2 thinly sliced celery stalks to the dressing, tossing thoroughly to coat every strand.
  9. Lightly toast 4 brioche burger buns on the grill or in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden and warm.
  10. Assemble each burger by placing a cooked patty on the bottom bun and topping generously with the carrot and celery slaw.

Perfectly balanced between spicy, creamy, and crunchy, these burgers deliver that signature Buffalo kick without the mess. The cool, crisp slaw cuts through the heat beautifully, while the buttery brioche bun soaks up every last drop of sauce. Try serving them with extra hot sauce for dipping or alongside sweet potato fries for the ultimate game-day spread.

Zesty flavors and game-day memories come rushing back every time I make these Buffalo chicken burgers—they’re my go-to when I want something bold, messy, and utterly satisfying.

There’s just something about that spicy, tangy kick paired with a cool, creamy mayo that feels like a party in every bite.

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground chicken (preferably 93% lean for optimal juiciness)
– 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce (the classic, tangy buffalo staple)
– 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (light and crispy for texture)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound ground chicken, 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 beaten egg, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons Frank’s RedHot sauce until just incorporated—overmixing can make the burgers tough.
2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a 3/4-inch thick patty, pressing a slight dimple in the center to prevent bulging during cooking.
3. Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat (about 375°F) and lightly oil the surface to avoid sticking.
4. Cook the patties for 5–6 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is lightly charred.
5. While the patties cook, melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat and stir in the remaining 1/4 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce until warm and combined.
6. Brush the hot sauce-butter mixture generously over each cooked patty right after they come off the heat for maximum flavor absorption.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of the reserved hot sauce-butter mixture to create a spicy mayo.
8. Lightly toast 4 brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes.
9. Spread a generous layer of spicy mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
10. Top each bun with a saucy patty, followed by 1/4 cup shredded iceberg lettuce, 2 tablespoons matchstick-cut celery, and a sprinkle of 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese per burger.
Buttery, spicy, and packed with crunch, these burgers deliver a perfect balance of heat from the buffalo sauce and cool creaminess from the mayo and blue cheese. Serve them with extra celery sticks and a cold beer to cut through the richness, or crumble any leftover patties over a salad for a next-day twist.

8. While the patties cook, lightly toast the 4 brioche burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden.
9. Brush the top of each cooked patty generously with the roasted garlic butter mixture.
10. Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun bottom, then topping with 1/2 cup shredded iceberg lettuce and a drizzle of 1/4 cup ranch dressing before adding the bun tops. Tip: Let the patties rest for 2 minutes after cooking to lock in juices before assembling.

My favorite part is that first bite—the tender, spicy chicken pairs magically with the cool crunch of lettuce and that garlic butter seeping into every nook. Make these for your next get-together and watch them vanish; I love serving them with sweet potato fries and extra hot sauce for dipping.
