Epic healthy gluten-free Buffalo Chicken Burgers ready in 20 minutes. These are the easiest and tastiest chicken burgers made with all dairy-free and paleo ingredients. Plus they are Whole30 sans bun.
All the easy meals please! These buffalo chicken burgers have been on repeat over here. Mainly because you can pair them with anything and everything. And because Ezra and Jordan and I all love them and they’re ready in 20 minutes. There is nothing better or easier in my opinion.
These are also the type of recipe you can really add anything you want to them to fit what you are craving. I love serving mine either on a bun or over a salad with some sweet potato fries (ideas linked below). And if you are doing a Whole30 at all these are perfect to make and have on hand for easy lunch or dinner too.
You can of course adjust the spice to fit your tolerance so if you like things extra spicy, use hot buffalo sauce. We usually do mild buffalo so Ez and I can eat them too then Jord just drowns his in hot buffalo sauce. Granted Ezra probably has more of a spice tolerance than us both – it is crazy.
If you guys make these at home, let me know!! I love hearing from you guys.
