MAYO

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese

2 tsp. cider vinegar

1 tsp. hot pepper sauce

1/2 rib celery, cut crosswise into thin slices

PATTIES

1 1/4 lbs. ground chicken, preferably thigh meat

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

3 Tbs. hot pepper sauce

2 Tbs. finely chopped fresh chives

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

ASSEMBLY

Extra-virgin olive oil

4 hamburger buns, split

4 large leaves iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced

Mayo: Combine mayo ingredients, except celery; mash well with fork. Stir in celery. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. l Patties: Mix patty ingredients; gently form 4 patties of equal size, each about 1" thick. With thumb or back of a spoon, make shallow indentation about 1" wide in center of patties to prevent them from forming a dome as they cook. Refrigerate patties until ready to grill.

Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350°F to 450°F). Brush patties with oil; grill over direct medium heat, with lid closed, until fully cooked (165°F), 8-10 minutes, turning once. During last 30 seconds to 1 minute of grilling time, toast buns, cut side down, over direct heat. Spread cut side of each bun with blue cheese mayo, then top with lettuce and a patty.
