Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, bread crumbs, crumbled blue cheese, egg, chopped onion, and wing sauce. Mix everything together until it’s well combined. Shape the mixture into four patties, then sandwich them between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap. Pop them in the fridge overnight if you can—that really helps the flavors meld and makes them easier to handle.
Step 2
When you’re ready to cook, fire up your grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick brush with oil so the patties don’t stick. Grill the burgers for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they’re cooked through and no longer pink inside. Serve them up on toasted buns with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Serving Ideas To Try
Serve with crisp lettuce and sliced tomatoes on a toasted bun for added texture. A side of celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing complements the spicy flavors perfectly.
How To Store This Recipe
Store leftover burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to keep them juicy. Avoid freezing if you want to maintain the best texture.
