2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
1 lb (450 g) ground chicken breast
2-4 tablespoons hot sauce (more or less to taste)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Canola oil, for the pan
4 buns, split and toasted
1 batch Spicy Blue Cheese Celery Slaw

Steps:

Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat; add the onion and cook until softened, but not brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more, stirring constantly. Cool slightly.
Add the onion/garlic mixture (with the butter that's in the pan), ground chicken, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper to a large bowl. Combine the mixture with your hands being careful not to over-mix, and divide it into 4 portions. Shape each into a ball and flatten into a patty.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough canola oil to generously coat the bottom. Once the skillet is hot, add the burgers and cook until they're cooked throughout, about 6 to 8 minutes per side, flipping once. (I like to cover the skillet with a lid to help contain the spattering oil, but leave the lid ajar so steam can escape, otherwise chicken has a tendency to be rubbery.)
Place the burgers on the buns and serve with the slaw on top.
