Buffalo Chicken Burger is an amazing sandwich that hits so many taste buds. Juicy chicken burger cooked in buffalo wing sauce and made with ranch dressing, blue cheese crumbles, Mozzarella cheese, and veggies. Adjust the spice level by using mild, medium, or hot buffalo wing sauce.
Buffalo Chicken Burger
Ever since I tried Buffalo chicken for the first time, I’ve been in love. I always try to find new ways of using in and have quite a few recipes up my sleeve. When it comes to the sauce, personally, I prefer to use mild or medium because I’m a weakling and can’t handle anything hotter. And, I prefer to be able to taste my food while chewing it without being in complete physical pain.
But if you like it hot and like it spicy, go for the hot stuff and make it a blazing chicken sandwich.
Chicken burgers are wonderful because they are so easy to make and can be served any time of the day. Serve it for dinner with some veggies or as a sandwich for lunch. Buffalo style chicken burger is one of our favorites for an easy and finger-licking-delicous lunch.
When it comes to ranch, I prefer to make my own. Mainly because I still can’t find store-bough ranch that’s as good as my homemade ranch. If you’d like to try my homemade buttermilk ranch, you can find it HERE.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH BUFFALO CHICKEN BURGER
There are so many things that will go perfectly with this burger. If you’re trying to serve something to help cool down the spiciness of the burger, try a green salad, celery sticks, mashed potatoes, or cucumber slices. Don’t forget to serve some extra ranch dressing on the side.
If you don’t care for extinguishing your mouth, you can serve just about anything. Crispy fries will be great as a side dish, much like roasted veggies or a cup of soup.

Now *THAT* is a sandwich, Lyuba!! I wish I had one of these babies for dinner 🙂 We don’t have Buffalo Chicken anything often enough (in my opinion) because my husband isn’t really a fan :/ I’ve pinned this to try (anyways) and I’d like to invite you to link up to my All My Bloggy Friends party – it starts on Tuesday mornings at 7 am Eastern time and goes until Saturday night! Feel free to share this post and/or any others you would like to share! 🙂 I hope to see you there!

lyuba says
The best part about this, is that you can make one for him without sauce while making one for yourself with sauce!! Yum! Thank you, Jamie!
Jackie says
Hi Lyuba
What brand of buffalo sauce did you use in this recipe.
lyuba says
Jackie,
In this recipe, I used Crystal Wing Sauce (Original.) Hope it helps!
Lea Ann (Cooking On The Ranch) says

Thank you so much, Lea Ann!

Awesome picture, your chicken burgers look delish! I’m always trying to think of ways to use ground chicken as my kids and hubby protest… this looks perfect. Thank you – pinning now! Julia

Haha, I love ground chicken too 🙂
Thank you, Jules!

Eric says
This recipe looks awesome… I am going to have to try this out, first in my oven as a meatloaf, then the grill this upcoming weekend. I love your recipes, many of which are added to my personal cookbook that I use for those days that I have off to relax in my kitchen and create. Your creations always seem to give me something good to make in my home and even share with family… thanks.
lyuba says
Thank you so much, Eric!
Dee says
This was wonderful. Thank you!
lyuba says
Yay! I’m so glad you liked it, Dee! Thank you!
Taylor Griffin says
These were delish. I omitted the dill….just didnt appeal to me with the buffalo flavor. I did add 1 heaping tablespoon of buff sauce to the meat mixture & it was quite good. Drizzling the buff sauce from the pan onto the burger was good too. I made sliders & would def do these for company.
lyuba says
That sounds very good, Dee! I’ll be sure to add some buffalo sauce to the meat mixture next time too 🙂
lyuba says
Oops, glanced at the wrong comment! Sorry about that, Taylor 🙂
Cheese with Noodles says
Hi Lyuba! I made your burgers for dinner tonight (with a few changes according to our needs) and we liked them so much that I put my slightly altered version on my blog. I named your blog as the origin and included a link to your post. Normally I would leave a link to my post here in an effort to be polite so you could see where your recipe ended up, but I see that you don’t want blog links posted in your comments, so I’ll refrain 🙂 Just know that it’s at the top of the blog right now and was posted on January 20th, 2014 if you would like to look at it some other time.
lyuba says
Hi there! I did check out your post! I liked the idea of using turkey mean, I’ll have to try it!
Thank you and I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Jenna @ A Savory Feast says
I am obsessed with buffalo chicken. I definitely need to make this soon! Thanks for sharing.
lyuba says
I hope you do, you’ll love it! Thank you 🙂
marci says
Hi. I am not sure if anyone asked but have you tried to grill these????? They look delicious… Thank you.
lyuba says
I haven’t but my mom has. Since the chicken mixture is not as dense as beef mixture, you can use one of those grilling baskets with bars spaced closed and make sure to grease it. These are also fish grilling baskets that will work well.
marci says
Thank you so much for responding… That is so kind. Good idea.. I am just not a good pan fry kinda girl :((( Wish I could do it but always burn the outside and never cooked on the inside :((((
lyuba says
Of course!
As for the stove top, make sure that you are cooking on medium heat. Don’t cook on high unless you are just bringing wanted to boil. Personally, I don’t ever cook on high, if I boil water, it’s on medium-high.
I hope you enjoy the burgers!
marci says
THANK U!!!
Lynette says
My boyfriend took this recipe to work at the fire station and cooked it for the guys and they LOVED it! They claimed it was the best burger they had ever eaten. Fireman can be picky about their burgers so please pat yourself on the back! These would be fireman at Beaufort Marine Base Fire Department in South Carolina. Thank you for rocking their world!!
Sarah says
Holy pete! Found these on pinterest. New favorite recipe from Pinterest! Thank you for sharing! So so so good! Make these today!!!
bill davies says
like your Buffalo Chicken Burger recipe and saw several other Buffalo recipes, i grew up there and wonder if you did too!
bill davies says
like your Buffalo Chicken burgers recipe, did you grow up near Buffalo?
lyuba says
Hi Bill,
I am just a big fan of recipes with Buffalo sauce. I actually grew up in Russia 🙂
Thank you so much!
Ashley says
I made these tonight and they were awesome!!!!!! I used GF Panko bread crumbs because my son has a wheat allergy. I also used ground turkey instead of chicken (turkey was all I had in the freezer) My son is a picky eater and he ate his whole burger!!
lyuba says
I’m so happy you liked it!! I’m glad you were able to find a GF substitution too 🙂
Thank you, Ashley!
jenna says

Lyuba says
Thank you, Jenna! I’m glad it worked out well 🙂
Terry says
Holy buffalo chicken burger 😋this was sooo good. Would not change a thing. Hubby cooked mine on the grill.. I ate mine bun less..it was great.
LyubaB says
Thanks, Terry! I am so glad you liked it!
Heidi McIndoo says
Wondering–those who grilled them, how did you add the sauce at the end? Thanks
LyubaB says
Hi, Heidi! You could grill them and then toss them in a bowl with the sauce 🙂
Heidi says
Thanks!
LyubaB says
Your welcome! Hope you enjoy them! 🙂
