Spicy Ground Chicken Sliders (with Buffalo Sauce)

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1 serrano pepper

  minced (or more to taste)
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

  + more for topping
• 1/4 cup Buffalo Sauce

  + more for serving
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp olive oil

  + more for the pan
• 3 tbsp bread crumbs

  or more if needed
• 8 slider buns

  lightly toasted
• 1 Leafy lettuce for serving

Instructions

• 1 To a mixing bowl, add ground chicken with serrano peppers, ½ cup blue cheese, ¼
  cup Buffalo sauce, paprika, garlic powder, olive oil and 3 tablespoons bread
  crumbs. Hand mix, but do not overmix or the sliders can become mealy. If the
  meat mixture doesn’t stick together enough, add a bit more bread crumbs.
• 2 Form the meat mixture into 8 2-ounce slider patties roughly the width of your
  buns. They will shrink a bit when cooked.
• 3 Heat olive oil on a large grill pan to medium heat and cook the sliders about
  3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
• 4 Serve the sliders on toasted buns with leafy lettuce and extra blue cheese
  crumbles. Top with extra Buffalo sauce.
