Buffalo Chicken Burger with Blue Cheese
Buffalo Chicken Burger with Blue Cheese
At my meat counter, we make a buffalo blue cheese chicken burger with the cheese mixed into the meat. While they’re pretty good, I think it’s silly to mix the cheese into the patty instead of placing it on top. So I decided to make the burgers at home from scratch; even better than the premade mix I use at work.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp parsley chopped
- 1 tbsp butter
- blue cheese crumbled
- brioche buns toasted
Instructions
- Place the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, buffalo sauce, parsley, onion and garlic powder in a bowl.
- Mix until all of the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form into 4 patties.
- Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Place the Pattie’s in the pan. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Flip the patties. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Place blue cheese on the burgers. Cover the pan and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Place each burger on a toasted brioche bun.
Homemade Buffalo Sauce
Buffalo sauce is an American Staple; originating from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY in 1964. This sauce isn’t just good on chicken wings, but any type of proteins such as fried chicken, fried shrimp, fried fish, etc. It is extremely easy to make and tastes better than any bottled sauce that you’d get at a grocery store.
Equipment
- whisk
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 2 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small pot over medium low heat.
- Pour in the hot sauce. Add in the garlic powder. Make a slurry out of the cold water and cornstarch. Whisk in until the sauce is slightly thick.
Mango Salsa
Mango Salsa
My mango salsa is to die for. It pairs great with fish such as salmon, mahi mahi, tilapia, swordfish; shrimp, grilled pork chops, citrus-marinated chicken, and very obviously tacos. If serrano peppers are to spicy for you, they can be replaced with jalapeños.
Ingredients
- 3 yellow mangoes peeled and diced
- 2 serrano peppers finely chopped
- 1/4 cup white onion finely chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper finely chopped
- 3 green onions finely chopped
- 5 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro finely chopped
- 1 lime juiced
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl. Refrigerate for an hour before serving.
Croissant, Bagel, and English Muffin French Toast
Serve the French toast with a dusting of powdered sugar and maple syrup.
Alex’s Homemade Creole Seasoning
Alex’s Homemade Creole Seasoning
This is my personal recipe for my salt-free creole seasoning. I never really add salt to my spice mixes; mostly because if I want more of the spice flavor, it will increase the salt intake. Salt to me should be used separately. This creole seasoning is great on chicken, pork, beef, turkey, shrimp, and fish of all types. The main difference between creole and cajun seasoning is that Cajun is usually just paprika, cayenne, salt, pepper, and sometimes oregano. Creole seasoning will have garlic, onion, basil, and thyme in addition.
Equipment
- measuring spoon
- funnel
- 4 oz spice bottle
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp paprika
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp dried basil
- 1 tbsp dried thyme
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp white pepper
Instructions
- Mix all of the seasonings together and funnel into a 4oz spice shaker bottle.
