Not too spicy! For a milder version, use 1/4 cup (or less) of buffalo sauce. (The level of heat will also depend on the type of sauce - I use Frank's Red Hot). My kids will eat these with some ranch dressing.

Can you freeze these?

Yes, you can freeze them! To freeze before cooking, place the formed patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze them for 6-8 hours - this ensures they won't stick together. Then put them in an airtight container and you're good to go. To freeze after cooking, just place in an airtight container once they've cooled. For best results, when you're ready to cook them, I would suggest thawing them overnight in the fridge.

How do you make these dairy free?

I would use a different spread in place of the feta spread - such as a plant based tzatziki, mayo, or an avocado spread!

How would you make these vegetarian?

I would use a veg protein base instead of chicken, like TVP - example of how it's done in this recipe .

How would you make these gluten free?

Use gluten free buns, and gluten free panko. Also, ensure that your hot sauce is gluten free.

Instructions

Make the Whipped Feta: Blend all the ingredients together in a small food processor until it incorporates into a thick and spreadable texture with flecks of feta.
Mix the Burgers: In a medium bowl, mix the burger ingredients together. Form into 4-5 patties.
Cook the Burgers: Heat a small bit of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add burgers and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the inside of the burgers is fully cooked (165 degrees).
Brush with Butter: As the burgers are finishing cooking, brush the outside with the melted butter and hot sauce mixture.
Finish: Arrange your burgers on buns with lettuce and a shmear of the whipped feta. SO GOOD.
