To make 4 buffalo chicken burgers, start by heating 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat in a small skillet. Add diced onion and cook, stirring often, until well browned, about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated Cabot Hot Buffalo Wing Cheddar cheese, finely chopped Fresno chiles, chopped fresh cilantro, hot sauce, salt, pepper and cooled onions. Form mixture into four equal patties.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add the chicken patties and cook for about 6 minutes per side, or until done all the way through to center.
Serve burgers on whole grain buns topped with fresh spinach leaves and sliced cucumbers, if desired.

I love this recipe. These burgers are healthy and so easy to make. They are great for a barbeque or a quick week night meal.
