# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, 1 tablespoon buffalo sauce, egg, breadcrumbs, and mayonnaise. Mix until evenly incorporated.
02 -
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a round patty approximately 1/2 inch thick.
03 -
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Cook patties for 5-6 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with remaining buffalo sauce, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
04 -
Place mozzarella slices on patties during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to melt cheese.
05 -
Toast brioche buns lightly if desired. Place lettuce, tomato, and onion on bottom bun, top with chicken patty, sprinkle blue cheese crumbles, and drizzle ranch dressing. Cover with top bun and serve immediately.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
For enhanced buffalo flavor, incorporate additional buffalo sauce into the chicken mixture. Ensure sufficient binders like egg and breadcrumbs to maintain patty integrity during cooking.
02 -
Use a clean, scratch-free pan with adequate oil and preheating to prevent patties from sticking.
03 -
When grilling, utilize a vegetable basket and two-zone heat to cook patties evenly without burning.
