Ingredients
For the Burgers
- 16 oz. ground chicken
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ medium onion diced
- ¼ cup hot sauce
- 1 egg
- 12-14 saltine crackers crumbled
- 4 King's Hawaiian Hamburger Buns
- lettuce for topping
For the Blue Cheese Dressing
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbled
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1-2 Tbsp milk to loosen the dressing (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the ground chicken, paprika, pepper, garlic, onion, hot sauce, egg, and crumbled saltine crackers. Gently mix until incorporated.
- Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions and gently shape each portion into a patty about ¾" thick. Take care not to overwork the meat (see tip below).
- Grill the burgers for approximately 5 minutes per side, flipping only once. (Also, resist the temptation to press on the burgers with your grill spatula!)
- Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the Blue Cheese Dressing and stir until well combined. (This dressing tastes even better if you mix it a day in advance.)
Notes
Burger Making Tip #1: Don't overwork the meat. Handle the burgers as little as possible when making them to prevent the grilled burgers from being too tough.
Burger Making Tip #2: Use your thumb to create a small indention in the center of each burger before grilling. This will help create a perfectly shaped burger when it comes off of the grill.
