Buffalo Chicken Burger

This Buffalo Chicken Burger combines the flavors of buffalo sauce with a well-seasoned, juicy chicken patty for the ultimate chicken burger. Packed with flavor, these burgers are perfect for lunch and dinner and make awesome leftovers!

If you love buffalo recipes, you’ll also enjoy my Buffalo Chicken Meatball Deep Dish Pizza, Buffalo Chicken Dip, Buffalo Chicken Calzone, and Oven-Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings.

Two of my game-day favorites come together in this juicy chicken burger. These Buffalo Chicken Burgers are simple to make and can even be low-carb, keto, and gluten-free friendly by ditching the buns and enjoying them solo or on top of butter lettuce.

The buffalo chicken patties are prepared in a skillet, covered in buffalo sauce, and then baked, resulting in an incredibly tender and never-dry burger. Serve them on your favorite burger bun with traditional toppings like melty cheese, ranch dressing, blue cheese crumbles, and more Buffalo sauce for the win!

Buffalo chicken burger ingredients:

Make sure to check the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and quantities.

• Ground chicken can be as juicy as a beef burger when prepared correctly. Blending the ground chicken with an egg and grated parmesan maintains the moisture and helps bind the meat together. If you want to make this a turkey burger instead, substitute ground turkey.
• For the seasonings, you’ll need freshly chopped parsley, black pepper, sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, celery salt, and red pepper flakes. The parsley flakes help brighten the flavor.
• The buffalo sauce you choose can make a huge difference, so I suggest you choose a personal favorite. When in doubt, go with Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wings Hot Sauce.
• Any lightly toasted bun will do, and I prefer brioche buns.
• Optional toppings include provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, ranch dressing, blue cheese crumbles, or extra buffalo sauce.

How to make Buffalo Chicken Burgers:

Prepare your chicken patties. Begin by breaking down the ground chicken and adding it to a large bowl. Add the chopped parsley, egg, grated parmesan cheese, black pepper, sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix well using your hands. Form ground chicken into large patties about 3/4 to 1 inch thick and set to side.

Cook chicken patties. Heat a skillet to medium heat and add butter. Cook each patty on each side for 3 to 4 minutes, then place on a baking sheet (paid link).

Finish patties in the oven. Cover patties with buffalo sauce and top with provolone cheese. Place in a preheated oven at 400°F until cheese is melted. Chicken is done when a meat thermometer inserted into the center reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Make your chicken burgers. Toast buns. Layer the chicken patty on the bottom bun with optional toppings. Place top bun over toppings.

Can I store leftovers?

Yes! Uncooked ground chicken can remain in the fridge for 2-3 days. Prepared leftovers can be stored in a tightly covered container in the fridge. The cooked burger patties will keep for 3-4 days. To reheat the burgers, place them in the oven at 400°F for 7-10 minutes, or you can reheat them on the stovetop in a skillet or in the microwave.

Notes

Keeping hands slightly wet helps keep the ground chicken from sticking to the hands. You can also use gloves.

Chicken is done when a meat thermometer inserted into the center reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Excess buffalo sauce can be used to dip burgers into.
