GROUND CHICKEN BURGERS RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, sour cream, breadcrumbs, chives, garlic, salt, black pepper, mustard, and hot sauce (if using). Mix gently to combine well. Divide the mixture into 6 even portions (about 6 ounces each). Pat together into a ball, then press into a patty, about ¾-inch thick. Place the patties on small squares of parchment or waxed paper to make it easier for transferring to the grill.  
• On the stove-top: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan. Remove the patties from the wax paper, place in the skillet, and let cook for 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until the internal temperature of the burger reaches 165˚, about 5 more minutes.
• Alternatively, grill the burgers: Preheat the grill over medium-high heat (400 to 425˚) and oil the grill grates. Remove the patties from the wax paper and place on the grill over direct heat. Cook, with the grill covered, until the internal temperature of the burger reaches 165˚, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. 
• Serve immediately on toasted buns with whatever toppings that you like!

Steps:

• For the burgers: Melt 9 tablespoons of the butter in a pan, then pour it into a measuring cup.
• Put the ground chicken in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of the melted butter, 1 tablespoon of the hot sauce and the salt and pepper. Mix and form into 2 patties.
• Set a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and add the oil to the pan. Add the patties to the pan, turn the heat up to medium and cook until they are browned on the first side, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the remaining 8 tablespoons hot sauce into the remaining butter in the measuring cup.
• Flip the patties and put a couple tablespoons of the butter and hot sauce mixture on each. Cook another 4 minutes.
• For the blue cheese dressing: Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese crumbles, vinegar and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Taste and adjust with more vinegar, salt and pepper if needed.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to a skillet and heat over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and the skillet is hot. Add the onion rolls cut-side down and toast until golden, about 2 minutes.
• Flip the patties again, put another couple tablespoons of the butter and hot sauce mixture on each patty and cook until the patties are cooked through, about 2 more minutes.
• Spread a little of the butter and hot sauce mixture on the top and bottom buns. Top each bottom bun with a patty, then some sliced celery, blue cheese dressing, blue cheese crumbles, celery leaves and the top buns. Serve with more blue cheese dressing and the celery sticks.
