"This is not a traditional burger recipe," says Rach. "I'm using ground chicken for this because I was doing a mashup in my head and thinking of all the trigger words that people love so much: Buffalo anything, chili anything, chicken anything. People love all of these things." So, this is a ground chicken, Buffalo, chili-seasoned burger with blue cheese dressing. As she puts it, the burger has been "Buffalo-magized!"  

Ingredients

For the Blue Cheese Special Sauce:
  • ¾ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons pickle relish
  • ½ cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
For the Buffalo Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped or grated
  • ½ cup hot sauce (Rach likes Frank's RedHot)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
