Buffalo Chicken Burger
A ground chicken patty seasoned and pan-seared, then tossed in a butter-based Buffalo hot sauce until glazed. Served on a toasted brioche bun with crisp lettuce, blue cheese dressing, and celery for crunch. The heat comes from cayenne-forward hot sauce balanced by cooling dairy and tangy vinegar.
