Ingredients

Buffalo sauce

  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 6 Tbsp hot sauce
  • 1 Tbsp molasses
  • ½ tsp cornstarch

Patties

  • 1½ lb ground chicken
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 large shallot, minced
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp table salt
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil

To build

  • 2 oz mild blue cheese, crumbled
  • 4 leaves Bibb or Boston lettuce
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 1 celery rib, thinly sliced on the bias, plus ¼ cup celery leaves

Method

  1. Microwave the butter, hot sauce, molasses and cornstarch, whisking, until slightly thickened, 2–3 minutes. Keep warm.
  2. Gently knead the chicken with the melted butter, shallot, Worcestershire and pepper. Shape four ¾ in patties and press a dent into the middle of each.
  3. Salt the patties. Cook dent side up in the oil over medium heat until browned, 4–6 minutes. Flip, lower to medium-low and cook to 160°F, 5–7 minutes.
  4. Brush with half the Buffalo sauce and rest 5 minutes.
  5. Serve on lettuce-lined buns with blue cheese, celery and celery leaves, and the rest of the sauce on the side.
