# What You’ll Need:
→ Chicken Patty
01 -
450 grams ground chicken (approx. 1 pound)
02 -
1 large egg
03 -
30 grams plain breadcrumbs (approx. 1/4 cup)
04 -
15 ml buffalo wing sauce (approx. 1 tablespoon), plus extra for basting
→ Toppings
05 -
2 slices mozzarella cheese (approx. 60 grams)
06 -
30 grams blue cheese crumbles (approx. 1/4 cup)
07 -
Vegetables (lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion as desired)
→ Condiments and Bread
08 -
2 brioche buns
09 -
60 ml ranch dressing (approx. 1/4 cup)
→ Cooking
10 -
15 ml vegetable oil (approx. 1 tablespoon) for pan frying
# Steps to Make This:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, and 1 tablespoon of buffalo wing sauce. Mix gently until thoroughly incorporated but not overworked.
02 -
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1.5 cm thick, ensuring even thickness for uniform cooking.
03 -
Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. This prevents sticking and promotes even browning.
04 -
Place patties in the pan and cook for 5 minutes on the first side. Flip gently, baste with additional buffalo sauce, and cook for 5 more minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
05 -
In the last minute of cooking, place mozzarella slices on each patty and cover the pan to melt cheese thoroughly.
06 -
While patties cook, lightly toast brioche buns to golden brown in a separate pan or toaster.
07 -
Spread ranch dressing on the bottom bun, add lettuce and tomato slices, place the chicken patty with melted cheese, sprinkle blue cheese crumbles and top with red onion slices as desired. Crown with the top bun.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For stronger buffalo flavor, mix additional buffalo sauce into the chicken mixture before shaping the patties. To prevent patties from falling apart, ensure binders like egg and breadcrumbs are sufficiently integrated.
02 -
Use a grill basket for outdoor cooking to keep the patties from breaking, and cook over medium heat with two-zone temperature control for best results.
