Buffalo Chicken Burger

Here's what I made for the throwdown. It's a marinated chicken thigh breaded in panko then smoked indirect on the kettle with hickory. This is my first time breading anything and cooking it on the kettle so I only breaded one of the thighs and it came out great! I should have done more. I buttered and toasted a bun then added avocado on the bottom then the breaded thigh topped that with buffalo sauce, then meunster cheese and romaine lettuce. It was great and I seasoned the thighs with red fajita seasoning from la michoacana meat market. These were really good and very juicy with a great smokey flavor from the hickory. You guys should give it a try when you're in the mood for a spicy chicken sandwich and Wendy's is not close by :-D

Nice use of Panko! Did you use an egg wash first or just roll it as is?? I never would have thought of putting that in the smoker, great job! the sandwich looks D-licious

I had never done it either I just rolled the thigh in panko with no egg wash. The marinade was plenty to hold the panko on. It came out crispy and smokey :becky:
