The husband is bringing you Man Food Friday again. This guy really can’t get enough buffalo food. These amazing monstrosities are jalapeno popper stuffed buffalo chicken burgers. Let me tell you, these things are like Miami according to Will Smith. They bring the heat, for real. Anyone else remember his song Miami?

Stuffed Buffalo Chicken Burgers

Ok moving on.

These stuffed buffalo chicken burgers are amazing. They kind of remind me of Cheesecake Factory Buffalo Blasts. In burger form. Gooey, cheese, hot and spicy. Sometimes I think my husband is a genius. But don’t tell him I said so, ok?

Stuffed Buffalo Chicken Burgers

If you couldn’t tell from the last time I posted, I really love buffalo chicken. Sure, wings have been a staple of mine since I was young, but now since you can have buffalo anything I am finding new ways to enjoy my favorite sauce. These stuffed buffalo burgers do the trick nicely, and may even convince me that stuffed buffalo chicken burgers are better than grilled buffalo wings (though my recipe is tough to beat considering our toddler likes them).

Stuffed Buffalo Chicken Burgers

If you have been following my wife’s posts, you know our daughter is made of Thai food. Very spicy, hot Thai food. The first time the kid tried a lemon, she made the sour face but then delightedly kept on eating. When we made the wings, she grabbed for them while my wife was taking the pictures for this site. She walked around gnawing on the wing until she has eaten through to the bone.

After months of telling her that spicy or hot food is too much for her, we have given up. After the wing snatching, we just give her what we are having, at least to try. If she won’t eat it, more for us, and we give her another option.

These stuffed buffalo chicken burgers are pretty spicy. They take our Buffalo Chicken Burgers and stuff the melted jalapeno popper center from our Stuffed Jalapeno Popper Burgers into them. The result: a kicked up chicken burger smothered in spicy sauce stuffed with creamy melted cheese and flecks of fresh jalapenos.

So like any good parent, I let the Goose try a burger. They are hotter than the other recipes since they combine elements of each, but the kid did not flinch. She took a bite and wanted more. Then she ate her standard 5 bites so I’d say this recipe is toddler approved.*

*Not responsible if your toddler does not share the same affinity to hot and spicy food as ours does.

Check out that bite! Perfection!
