- Toss the wings in sauce while still hot to help the sauce stick better.
- Toast the mini buns lightly to add a bit of crunch and prevent sogginess.

Step 1
In a big bowl, combine the ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg, and wing sauce. If the mixture feels too dry, add a splash of water until it’s just a little sticky. Then, shape the mixture into small patties, about 3 inches wide.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, cook the patties for around 4 minutes on each side, until they’re cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Step 3
Pop the patties onto buns and serve while they’re warm. Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
Serve with celery sticks and carrot sticks on the side for a refreshing crunch. A cool ranch or blue cheese dressing dip pairs perfectly and balances the heat. These sandwiches also go well with a cold beer or a crisp soda.
Food Storage Guide
Store any leftover chicken wings separately from the buns to keep the bread from getting soggy. Keep wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat wings in the oven to maintain crispiness before assembling sandwiches again.
