Friend of Julie: Chicken Buffalo Burgers

Last week I made a visit to the Earlee Mug (Granby, MA) and I had three delicious foods that are specifically key-friendly: Chicken buffalo burger (recipe below), cauliflower ham hash, and a cauliflower bun. All were delicious and Jen has graciously offered recipes. I live so close to this place I just go there instead of making these foods.
Ingredients for Buffalo Burgers

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 1/4 cup hot sauce
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp celery seed
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 egg (optional)

Ingredients for Cucumber Slaw

• 2 medium cucumbers, seeds removed and grated
• 2 Tbsp shredded carrot
• 2 Tbsp homemade mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• Juice of 1/2 a lemon
• 1/2 tsp celery seed
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp salt and pepper

Note: if cucumbers aren't available, top your buffalo burger with blue cheese dressing.

Instructions

1. Combine all the cucumber slaw ingredients in a bowl and put the bowl to the side.
2. Mix all of the ingredients, except the chicken, in another bowl.  
3. Add the chicken and stir (or use your hands) until the buffalo sauce mixture is incorporated.
4. Form the meat into 3-4 equal patties.
5. Grill the patties for 5-7 minutes on one side. Oil as necessary to prevent sticking. 
6. Flip the burger over and brush with additional buffalo sauce. 
7. Cook for another 5 minutes or until cooked through.
8. Serve the burger on a lettuce leaf and top with Cucumber Slaw (or blue cheese dressing).

Key-friend Lou stopped by the Earlee Mug and took home some of their ham hash. He heated the ham has on his cast iron skillet and served it with two eggs over easy.
