Ingredients

Scale

For the Buffalo Chicken Patties

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup celery, finely sliced
  • 1 tablespoon buffalo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tablespoon ghee, cold and cut into little chunks

For Serving

  • Butter lettuce leaves
  • Bun of choice (lettuce bun, gluten-free bun, or regular bun)
  • Optional: sliced green onions
  • Optional: additional buffalo sauce
  • Optional: ranch dressing
  • Optional: blue cheese dressing
  • Optional: blue cheese crumbles

Instructions

  1. Make Burgers: In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, almond flour, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, finely sliced celery, buffalo sauce, and cold ghee chunks. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  2. Shape Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking and shape each portion into a burger patty, ensuring they are compact and even in thickness.
  3. Refrigerate Patties (Optional): Place the patties on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes. This helps them firm up and hold together better during grilling.
  4. Prep the Grill: Preheat your grill to 400-450°F (204-232°C). Lay a piece of aluminum foil over the clean grill grates and spray generously with non-stick or avocado oil spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill Patties: Place the patties directly on the foil over direct heat. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side with the grill lid closed. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; internal temperature should reach 160-165°F (71-74°C).
  6. Rest Patties: Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring juicy burgers.
  7. Assemble and Serve: Build your burgers by placing each patty on your choice of bun or butter lettuce. Add any optional toppings such as green onions, extra buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, and blue cheese crumbles to enhance flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Refrigerating patties before grilling is optional but helps to keep them intact during cooking.
  • Using almond flour instead of breadcrumbs keeps these burgers gluten-free.
  • Adjust buffalo sauce quantity according to your preferred spice level.
  • Make sure to cook chicken thoroughly to an internal temperature of 160-165°F for safety.
  • Using a foil layer on the grill makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking while still allowing grill marks and smoky flavor.
