  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Burgers

  • 1 lb. ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup hot sauce (Frank’s Red Hot recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (for brushing)
  • Buns (4-5)
  • Lettuce

For the Whipped Feta Spread

  • 6 ounces feta cheese (block or crumbles)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Make the Whipped Feta: Blend the feta cheese, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and water in a small food processor until the mixture is thick and spreadable with visible flecks of feta throughout.
  2. Mix the Burgers: In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, hot sauce, garlic powder, salt, and olive oil. Mix well and form the mixture into 4 to 5 evenly sized patties.
  3. Cook the Burgers: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until they develop a golden brown crust and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (fully cooked).
  4. Brush with Butter: While the burgers finish cooking, brush them on the outside with the melted butter and hot sauce mixture to enhance flavor and add moisture.
  5. Finish: Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked patties on buns, topping with a layer of lettuce and a generous spread of the whipped feta. Serve immediately and enjoy the bold, tangy flavors.

Notes

  • Ensure ground chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to guarantee it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your preferred level of spiciness.
  • For a crispier texture, toast the buns lightly before assembling the burgers.
  • The whipped feta spread can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, substitute hot sauce in the burger mix with barbecue sauce.
