Buffalo Chicken Burger

In honor of the super bowl I tried to recreate America's favorite game time food. The buffalo wing is a Super Bowl favorite which I am sure is being consumed by the dozens all over the country today. To make this burger I used ground chicken and formed it into a patty. I seasoned with salt and pepper and tossed with the wing sauce in a large mixing bowl. The sauce I used was Frank's Buffalo wing sauce which can be found in any grocery store. I coated the chicken patties nicely with the sauce and then placed it onto a hot cast iron pan. After A good sear for about six minutes I flipped it over. Then I cooked it on the other side for another six minutes. Then I turned the heat down to medium and I added a handful of crumbled blue cheese on top of the burger. I poured a little bit of water onto the pan to create some steam and covered it with a lid to steam the burger and to melt the blue cheese into a sauce. After two more minutes the burger was done. I placed it on a whole wheat bun and covered with a little bit more of Frank's extra hot sauce. The only thing missing was some celery sticks. The blue cheese and the wing sauce goes together incredibly and the bun was nice and soft which helped absorb the sauce. The chicken remained moist but the outside had a great crust. Another burger down and not many more to go but I have to get going because this game is getting interesting.
