Buffalo Chicken Burgers with Homemade Ranch

Make the ranch dressing first. Combine all ingredients together in a small bowl. Taste, and add a pinch of salt if needed. Refrigerate until ready.

Make the burgers. Heat a skillet to medium-high heat with the olive oil or cooking spray.

Combine the chicken, Worcestershire, onion powder, and garlic powder in a bowl with your clean hands. Divide into 4 equal parts, and form into patties that are slightly larger than the burger buns.

Place the patties in the hot pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and totally cooked through. Only flip once. Remove burgers from the pan to a plate, and reduce the heat to medium-low.

Add the butter and hot sauce(s) into the pan. Swirl to combine, then return the burgers to the pan with the sauce. Turn several times to fully coat them in the hot sauce mixture.

To assemble, top a bun bottom with some ranch, then with a chicken burger. Add any toppings you’d like, then the top of the bun. Enjoy!

Note: Use fresh herbs in the ranch if you’d like!
