Ingredients

Chicken Patties

1 pound ground chicken 453g
2 tablespoons almond flour 16g
¼ cup buffalo sauce 60ml
1 teaspoon garlic powder 3.1g
½ teaspoon onion powder 1.5g
½ teaspoon smoked paprika 1g
½ teaspoon sea salt 2g
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper 0.5g

Assembly

4 keto buns, halved and toasted
½ cup blue cheese crumbles 68g
¼ cup ranch dressing 60ml
1 cup shredded lettuce 70g
Additional buffalo sauce for drizzling

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, almond flour, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form them into patties.
Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a small amount of cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the chicken patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
While the patties cook, prepare your keto buns and set aside.
Once the chicken burgers are done, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
To assemble the burgers, place a chicken patty on the bottom half of each keto bun.
Top each patty with an equal amount of blue cheese crumbles and drizzle with ranch dressing.
Add shredded lettuce and a drizzle more buffalo sauce if desired.
Cap with the top halves of the keto buns and serve immediately.

For a less spicy version, adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your preference.
