# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, 2 tablespoons buffalo sauce, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, and the egg. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
02 -
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 1.5 centimeters (0.6 inches) thick.
03 -
Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat. Place patties in the pan and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, brushing with remaining buffalo sauce during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
04 -
While patties cook, lightly toast brioche buns in a separate pan or oven until golden brown.
05 -
Place cooked patties on the bottom buns. Top each with shredded mozzarella and blue cheese crumbles, allowing the cheese to slightly melt. Add lettuce, tomato, and onion slices. Drizzle ranch dressing over the vegetables, then cover with top buns.
06 -
Serve immediately while warm, accompanied by extra ranch dressing or buffalo sauce as desired.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Incorporating buffalo sauce directly into the chicken mixture intensifies the flavor. When shaping patties, use binders like egg and bread crumbs to prevent breaking. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
02 -
For grilling, use a vegetable basket or grill tray sprayed with cooking spray. Grill patties on medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side, brushing with buffalo sauce before finishing.
