Servings: 6 burgers
Calories: 208kcal
Equipment
- 1 medium mixing bowl
- 1 Grill or large skillet
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
- 1/2 cup gluten free breadcrumbs plain
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup green onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce gluten free
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a medium mixing bowl. With your hands, gently mix everything together until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
- Form the mixture into 6 burger patties, pressing gently on the middle to make sure they're even. Refrigerate for 20 minutes before cooking.
- On a grill over medium-high heat, cook the burgers for 5-6 minutes, then turn over and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes on the other side. The burgers are done when they're fully cooked through and have an internal temperature of 165°F with a meat thermometer.
- Once the burgers are done and removed from the grill, place the buns on the grill and toast for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Assemble the burgers with your favorite toppings, any additional buffalo wing sauce, and serve.

Cooking Tips
- These burgers can take more or less time to cook depending on how thick they are.
- Refrigerating the burgers helps firm up the patties, helping them hold their shape when they hit the grill.
- If the patties are sticking to your hand, try adding a little bit of oil to your hands when forming them.
- The burgers might shrink as they cook, so make them a little wider than you think you should.
- Don't press the burgers down while cooking, this can make them release moisture and turn out more dry.
- Be careful not to over-mix the burger ingredients, because it can result in dense burgers. You want everything to be just combined.
