Preheat a nonstick grill pan or skillet over medium heat with a light mist of cooking spray. Cook patties for 5 minutes on one side, flip, and cook an additional 5 minutes until fully cooked through.
04 -
While patties cook, combine coleslaw mix with blue cheese dressing in a bowl and toss until evenly coated.

Layer a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, add a cooked patty, drizzle approximately 1 teaspoon of Buffalo wing sauce on each patty, top with ¼ cup blue cheese coleslaw, and finish with the top half of the bun.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Use ground chicken breast for lean meat and authentic flavor; ground turkey breast can be substituted. Refrigerate patties before cooking to help maintain shape on grill.
02 -
Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wings sauce is recommended for authentic taste; adjust spice level by varying sauce quantity.
03 -
Blue cheese dressing can be substituted with light ranch dressing if preferred.
