Ingredients

• 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
• cooking spray
• 4 leaves iceberg lettuce
• 4 kaiser rolls, split
• 0.25 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon celery salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cup diced celery
• 0.25 cup light sour cream
• 0.25 cup hot pepper sauce
• 0.25 cup reduced fat blue cheese crumbles
• 1.5 pounds ground chicken
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Combine sour cream, blue cheese, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl; set aside.

Step 3

Combine chicken, 1/4 cup hot sauce, celery salt, paprika, poultry seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a bowl until well mixed; form into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.

Step 4

Cook on the preheated grill until grill marks appear, 6 to 7 minutes; flip burgers. Coat top rolls with cooking spray; lightly toast on grill if desired. Brush cooked side of burgers with 1 tablespoon hot sauce; cook until no longer pink in centers and juices run clear, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 5

Place 1 lettuce leaf each on bottom rolls; top each with 1 burger, 2 tablespoons blue cheese sauce, 2 tablespoons celery, and top roll.
