These Buffalo Chicken Burgers Are Absolutely Delightful.
Last week, everyone in the office devoured an entire burger for lunch. Typically, our shoot days consist of just nibbling here and there. However, these were met with rapid enthusiasm and loud cheers of approval.
Bjork remarked on how terrific they were at least seven times. I even went back for more. So perhaps buffalo chicken burgers have become my new top meal?
The taste is PHENOMENAL – brush them with butter at the finale, incorporate the zest of the feta spread, stack some refreshing lettuce on top, and nestle it all in a toasted brioche bun? Absolutely unbeatable.
Can we just take a moment to recognize how incredibly simple they are to whip up? If you grab a pre-made feta spread, like the new whipped one from Trader Joe’s, it becomes even quicker.
These pair wonderfully with a Simple Green Salad, sheet pan Sweet Potato Fries, or Liz’s Roasted Broccoli!
Hope you enjoy them!

Instructions
- Create the Whipped Feta: Process all components together in a small food processor until you achieve a thick and spreadable consistency with bits of feta.
- Combine the Burgers: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the burger ingredients together. Shape into 4-5 patties.
- Cook the Burgers: Heat a splash of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they turn golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Glaze with Butter: While the burgers finish cooking, brush them with the melted butter and hot sauce blend.
- Serve: Lay your burgers on buns with lettuce and a generous spread of the whipped feta. SO DELICIOUS.

Questions You Might Have About These Buffalo Chicken Burgers
How spicy are these?
They are not overly spicy! For a milder option, reduce to 1/4 cup (or less) of buffalo sauce. (Heat level varies with the sauce type – I prefer Frank’s Red Hot). My children enjoy them with some ranch dressing.
Can you freeze these?
Absolutely, you can freeze them! For freezing before cooking, lay the formed patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 6-8 hours – this prevents them from sticking together. Afterward, store them in an airtight container. For post-cooking freezing, just place in a container after they cool down. For best results, thaw them overnight in the fridge before cooking.
How do you make these dairy free?
Replace the feta spread with an alternative like a plant-based tzatziki, mayonnaise, or avocado spread!
How would you make these vegetarian?
Substitute a plant protein instead of chicken, like TVP – here’s how it can be done in this recipe.
How would you make these gluten free?
Use gluten-free buns and gluten-free panko. Ensure that your hot sauce is also gluten free.
