How to Make Buffalo Chicken Burgers
1. Prepare the Whipped Feta
Add feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, and water to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy with small flecks of feta.
Set aside.
2. Make the Burger Patties
In a medium bowl, combine ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, hot sauce, garlic powder, and salt.
Mix until just combined, then shape into 4–5 burger patties.
3. Cook the Burgers
Heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
4. Brush with Buffalo Butter
Mix the melted butter and hot sauce together.
Brush the mixture over the burgers during the final minute of cooking for extra flavor and shine.
5. Assemble the Burgers
Toast the brioche buns if desired.
Spread whipped feta on the bun, add a lettuce leaf, and place the buffalo chicken burger on top.
Serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Chicken Burgers
Don’t overmix the meat
This keeps the burgers tender and juicy.
Use medium-high heat
It helps create a golden crust on the outside.
Brush with buffalo butter at the end
This adds flavor without burning the sauce.
Toast the buns
A lightly toasted brioche bun holds the burger together and adds texture.
Variations
You can easily customize these burgers:
- Add sliced tomatoes or avocado
- Use blue cheese instead of feta
- Serve with ranch or extra buffalo sauce
- Turn them into sliders for parties
For a lighter version, serve the patties in lettuce wraps instead of buns.
Storage Tips
Refrigerator:
Store cooked patties in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheating:
Warm them in a skillet or air fryer for best texture.
Freezer:
