My dad always says that I'm fearless in the kitchen and that I will try almost anything. I always say that it doesn't hurt to try something new. If you don't like it, don't do it again, but if you don't try, you'll never know how good you can be. I find it really fun and exciting to teach yourself how to cook and there are so many great tools at your disposal. I hope this encourages you to get into your own kitchens and try something new!

Hot Wing Chicken Burgers
This is one of my Classics. I created this recipe when I had braces. I was really craving chicken wings, but since I had braces, I couldn't really eat them. So, I thought about how I could get the same flavors of chicken wings, but in another form. I've done a lot of other recipes this way too. It's a really fun way to mix things up a little! :) Here's what I came up with:
-1 lb ground chicken (I've seen it more and more lately, but I've always found it at Albertson's)
-1/2 cup of Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce
-a handful of parsley, chopped
-a heavy sprinkle of celery seed
-a handful of bleu cheese crumbles (this may be optional if you don't like bleu cheese)
-1/2 cup of plain breadcrumbs (you may need a little more)
-buns of your choice
Optional toppings:
-sliced tomatoes
-romaine lettuce
-ranch dressing
-more hot sauce for those who like it hot :)
In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together. If the mixture is still really sticky, add a little more breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together. Form into 1/2 thick (or thinner) patties. One pound of meat will make about 4 large patties or 6 regular sized patties. In a large skillet, over medium heat, add 2 TBS of olive oil and cook the burgers about 4 minutes per side or until cooked through and golden brown. When I flip the burgers over, I usually put a lid over the skillet just to ensure the middle is cooked through. Serve on buns with your choice of toppings. A simple salad and sweet potato fries make great sides with this! :)
