The reasons I love this recipe are endless…these burgers are gluten free and packed with protein, great for meal prepping, and a tasty change from traditional burgers.

Hot Sauce (or Buffalo Wing Sauce)

Instructions for Buffalo Chicken Burgers
Begin by mixing the ingredients in a bowl. Form into 5-6 patties, depending on desired size. For larger chicken burgers, make 4 patties.
These patties can be cooked on the grill, in a skillet, in the air fryer, or even baked in the oven – you choose! Here’s how to cook Buffalo Chicken Burgers:
- Grilled
Place patties on a preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until done.
- Stovetop
Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Cook patties for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Air Fryer
Line the air fryer with parchment sheets and place patties in the basket. Cook at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. flipping the burgers halfway through cook time.
- Oven
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place patties on a large, rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 15 minutes, or until done.
How to Make Your Own Ground Chicken
Did you know you can make your own ground chicken at home? This is a great way to save some money in your grocery budget! Begin with inexpensive boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat. Place the chicken thighs in a food processor and pulse until the chicken is the texture of ground meat. Use the ground meat immediately for these Buffalo Chicken Burgers or freeze for later use.
Can you Freeze Buffalo Chicken Burger Patties?
Yes! These burgers are perfect for making ahead and freezing. After forming the patties, place on a parchment lined baking sheet and flash freeze until just solid. Then transfer to a large freezer safe container or plastic bag. Buffalo Chicken Patties can be frozen for up to 6 months

Is there a good replace for almond flour that is also gluten free? I am allergic to almonds.
Hey Joy! I often use oat flour and almond flour interchangeably. You’ll just want to make sure the oats are gluten free 🙂
